Recent reports from the Mirror state that Liverpool are very close to agreeing on a new contract renewal with Mohamed Salah and their captain Virgil van Dijk. The side from Anfield have been living their all in negotiations and convincing both players to renew their contracts. The report states that they are now very close to that. With Liverpool running away with the title, there is probably not much money to be made if you are looking to back them in the title race. However, there are other opportunities to get the adrenaline pumping including having a go at 1xBet.
Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah have entered the final six months of their contract
The contract of the right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold also expires in the summer of 2024. However, Liverpool are unsure whether they will be able to renew or come to terms with a new contract with the player.
The new manager, Arne Slot, has been performing sensationally well with the club. The side are the top of the points table in both the Premier League and also in the UEFA Champions League. The players are also responding to the new ideas from the manager.
Although the club are performing sensationally well on the field, the management are pondering the future of the trio of their star players: Salah, van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold. All of them have already entered the final six months of their existing contract and have the ability to sign a pre-contract agreement with any club.
The Anfield side are hell bent on keeping the trio at their club. The three players have been the most important players for the side. However, Real Madrid have reached a pre-contract agreement with Alexander-Arnold if reports are to be believed, and hence Liverpool aren’t sure whether they will be able to keep him on the side.
Will the duo sign the new contract?
Madrid want to find a replacement for Dani Carvajal and hence are looking to get Alexander-Arnold. The Reds have also offered him a remunerative in hopes that he would agree to it. However, they are confident enough that they will agree on a new contract with Salah and van Dijk
The 32-year-old Salah is still performing at his very best, as he has scored 20 goals and provided 17 assists in the 26 matches that he has been part of across competitions so far this season.
He is still their main enforcer in the attack with his ability to take on defenders. Meanwhile, the 33-year-old van Dijk is still one of the best defenders in the world and also the leader of the side. The Reds have offered a new two-year contract to both of these players, and it is expected that they will agree to it.
