Arne Slot Handed Boost as Liverpool Trio Pledge to Stay Amid Rumours About Their Futures
Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah have expressed their desire to remain at Liverpool despite ongoing speculation about their futures.
According to CaughtOffside, the three players are likely to stay at Anfield. All three are in the final year of their contracts, which has led to speculation about potential moves away from the club.
Liverpool are currently the only team in the top five European leagues yet to make any new signings. As a result, sporting director Richard Hughes is reportedly focusing on contract renewals.
While no formal agreements have been reached with the three key players, they have indicated a willingness to extend their stays beyond their current contracts.
This development would be a significant advantage for new head coach Arne Slot, who can count on the trio that played a crucial role during Jurgen Klopp’s tenure.
Fan concerns had been mounting due to persistent transfer rumors. Captain Van Dijk had attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, with PIF officials approaching him about a possible transfer.
Salah has also been frequently linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, but any potential transfer this summer seemed to diminish after Al Ittihad signed Moussa Diaby.
The most worrying speculation for Liverpool supporters involved Alexander-Arnold, a lifelong fan of the club. His recent actions, including signing a Real Madrid shirt while on holiday with Jude Bellingham, have fueled these rumours.
Those concerns won’t be eased until an official contract announcement is made, but Real Madrid will not be making an offer for him this summer.
Carlo Ancelotti appeared to confirm this by stating that no additional signings will be made during this transfer window.
Real Madrid hopes to sign Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer in 2025. However, according to this report, that scenario may not materialise.
