Liverpool's Future Uncertain: Salah and Van Dijk Set to Stay, but Alexander-Arnold's Exit Looms Large
The full-back Trent Alexander Arnold seems to be linked to make a move to Real Madrid. While Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk are likely to sign on new contracts. Salah and Van Dijk will probably be renewing their contracts at Liverpool, but Alexander Arnold has not yet put pen to paper on a new deal, but has been linked to move to the LaLiga giant Real Madrid. Here’s the latest news on all three.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Future at Liverpool
Ever since the spring of 2016, Liverpool’s right-hand side has been dominated by the 26-year-old Trent Alexander Arnold. The extraordinary and technically gifted player has provided the ideal outlet for the Reds’ scoring machine up front.
However, his future at Liverpool remains uncertain. That’s because Real Madrid have been linked with a move for him in the past weeks. For a club that has a track record of pillaging the Premier League for players, Real Madrid would surely be foolish to pass up the opportunity to sign one of world football’s best right-backs.
It’s been some time now since Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, and it’s also clear that he is considering his options. In an interview with The Times last year, he said: “I’m happy at Liverpool, but you never know what the future holds. I’ll see how things go and make a decision.”
So let’s say that Alexander-Arnold were to leave Liverpool, this would be a huge blow to the club. Over the past years, he has been instrumental in Liverpool’s success. Him leaving would leave a weak spot in their team.
Potential Replacement for Alexander-Arnold
Denzel Dumfries could potentially be one of the players who could replace Trent if he were to leave Liverpool. The Spanish press claimed that Liverpool is thinking of signing Dumfries. Dumfries is currently playing as a right-back for Inter Milan and has been playing decent for the Italian club. With his pace and skills, he would be the ideal fit for the Reds.
In recent weeks, Dumfries has also been linked with a possible move to Liverpool. It’s been clear that Liverpool has shown interest in signing him for a year. Over the past few years, he has shown to be an outstanding right-back in the Serie A, therefore he would be a great player for Liverpool.
Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk Expected to Sign New Contracts
We don’t know where Trent will be playing in the upcoming months, but Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk will most likely sign new contracts with Liverpool. They played their part in the club’s success throughout the years and will still be key players for the Reds in the future.
Ever since Salah joined Liverpool in 2017, he has proven to be an important striker for his team. He has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks, but luckily for Liverpool, it’s been clear that he is committed to keep playing for them. Mo Salah is a talisman for Liverpool, he is usually seen as the difference maker for the club.
Van Dijk has been one of the better defenders we know since he joined Liverpool in 2018. His leadership, combined with his experience, make him the ideal captain for the Reds. He was linked to a move to Barcelona in recent weeks, but it’s been clear that he is committed to staying at Anfield. Van Dijk’s contract will end in the summer of 2025. He will then be faced with an important decision. Will his contract get renewed, or will he be transferred?
The future of Liverpool’s key trio will be monitored closely over the upcoming months. While Salah and Van Dijk are going to stay put, Trent’s future is still uncertain. Only time will tell if he chooses to leave for Real Madrid or remain to play for Liverpool.
