Three key players: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Vigil van Dijk have unsettled contracts, which increases the risk that they may leave for free at the conclusion of the season.

Virgil van DIjk has reportedly signed to a new two-year contract, however this has not been confirmed by an official source.
Ibrahima Konate, Van Dijk’s center-back partner, is one of the players given priority for new contracts.
Konate’s current agreement is scheduled to expire in the summer of next year.
The French defender, who is still an important part of Liverpool’s first squad, recently disclosed that the team had extended an offer to him, but he worrisomely declined to say if he was near to accepting it.
Fabrizio Romano on X cited Konate as saying:
“It’s true, I’ve been offered a new contract by Liverpool.
Am I close to signing it? That’s another conversation!”
