Liverpool manager david ornstein believes that the club will begin major contract negotiations in the coming days. As the reds prepare to enter the final year of contracts for mohamed salah, trent alexander-arnold, and virgil van dijk, he says this. These are, of course, the three most important players at the club, and only alisson becker could argue his way into the mix. Liverpool is entering a critical period as they look to bind the club’s core.
ORNSTEIN ON LIVERPOOL FC TRANSFER LATEST
I don’t think there was much progress on this before the end of 2023, and to my knowledge, the intention was to address it in the new year,” ornstein wrote for the athletic. “i would expect that some talks will begin in due time,” he said. “even if january is expected to be a relatively quiet transfer window at anfield, it isn’t the right time to start transfer negotiations, and in the case of salah, he is focusing on afcon.” All three players are important to liverpool, and that makes the situation extremely critical.” There is no reason to believe that alexander-arnold and van dijk will renew their contracts, and there has been no rumors about exits. Salah, on the other hand, is an interesting one.
Right at the end of the summer transfer window, he was offered an extensive deal by saudi arabia. The offer is expected to return in 2024, but signing a new deal at anfield would put an end to all speculation. Salah will then have to decide what he wants out of his remaining years. Liverpool will unquestionably make him a bid, but it will all depend on his priorities right now.
