The contracts of Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all expiring at the end of the year with all three being linked with free transfers away from Anfield.

The former Premier League man didn't name a specific club but claimed that Salah will sign a record deal in Saudi to become the face of the division ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I’ve got a source that told me Salah’s definitely going. Saudi, on a record contract.
"I’m hearing that he will earn more than [Cristiano] Ronaldo, he’ll be the face of the football over there. You can’t turn that down if you’re Mo Salah. He’s done everything at Liverpool hasn’t he?"
"I think he would have signed a new contract by now [if he was staying], and it's an offer he can't turn down," he added.

Salah himself has already commented on his situation after being questioned on where his future lies by Sky Sports after his annual goalscoring performance against Man United.
Speaking after Liverpool's win at Old Trafford, Salah said: "You know this is my last year in the club. I just want to enjoy it. It’s not up to me but no one has spoken to me at the club."
