Everything seems to be smiling at Liverpool this season. Leader of the Premier League and at the top of the league phase standings in the Champions League, the club from the northwest of England is moving forward with confidence and serenity.
However, a crucial question remains, that of the future of several executives in the workforce. Virgil Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, all at the end of their contracts next June, are fueling speculation. While their extensions are ardently desired, especially by the supporters, the suspense remains.
Slot plays the wait-and-see card
Asked once again about these issues after his team’s victory against Leicester (3-1) this Thursday in the league, coach Arne Slot chose to play the caution card. While praising the performances of his men, he avoided going into contractual details, preferring to refocus the discussion on their performances on the field.
“We don’t talk about contracts in public. It’s something that concerns the players and Richard Hughes (the sporting director, editor’s note). It is not my place to speak about these situations in public. But it is clear that Mo and Van Dijk had a very good match. Trent played very well overall, with one or two exceptions, but especially in the second half he was very good. This is what we can talk about, not contracts,” said the Dutch coach.
