Liverpool set to open their chequebook after transfer truth comes to light – report
Liverpool FC is now in a decisive position after Mo Salah’s unexpected statement following the Manchester United match. The Egyptian international surprised many by revealing that discussions about a contract extension have not yet begun. This revelation has prompted the club to take action and they are expected to initiate contract talks in the coming weeks.
According to Football Insider, as quoted by CaughtOffside, ahead of the international break, Liverpool has secured nine points from their first three Premier League matches and are currently tied at the top of the table with reigning champions Manchester City. The question now is why Liverpool has not prioritized addressing expiring contracts.

In Richard Hughes’ defense, the new sporting director had a substantial agenda this summer. The 45-year-old had to replace the legendary Jurgen Klopp, bring in new staff, and manage potential player acquisitions. While Hughes’ performance has been decent, it hasn’t been flawless.
However, it’s understandable why fans might be puzzled by the club’s apparent delay in starting contract talks with key players like Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Among these, Alexander-Arnold’s situation stands out due to his youth (25 years old) and exceptional talent.
It’s important to recognize the significance of both Salah and van Dijk to the club and their potential longevity in the sport. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Liverpool plans to address the futures of these three players over the coming month or so.
