liverpool Two of the most important players could now be lost, with reports suggesting both are now close to signing for the same club.
The Reds could lose their key players
The futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk remain in big doubt, with all three players set to leave for free at the end of the season if they don’t agree to the terms of new contracts.
Salah has been linked with a move to the Saudi Professional League for some time, Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol persist in The move could still happen if the Egyptians push for it.
“For Salah and Saudi Arabia, it’s a case of being bitten once and being frightened for ten years. Saudi Arabia tried to sign Salah 18 months ago.
“The Etihad made an offer that would have been as high as £150m but it was rejected and Salah decided to stay at Liverpool. Since then they have been very cautious about bringing in Salah again.”
“We have been told that if Salah wants to go to Saudi Arabia, his representatives need to get in touch and they will make it happen. They want Salah to play in the Saudi professional league.”

The 32-year-old has been outspoken about his frustration with Liverpool’s failure to offer the right terms, and while Van Dijk has been more coy about his future, it looks like the Dutchman could also leave the club.
This is according to reports in Spain, which indicate Al Hilal now close to completing deals for Van Dijk and Salahthis will be an extraordinary coup for Saudi Arabia.
The pair are said to be ready to leave, suggesting the move could be completed soon, with two of the Reds’ key players set to leave for free at the end of the season.
Why Salah and Van Dijk must stay
With Alexander-Arnold appearing to be getting closer to a move to Real Madrid, it is vital that Liverpool retain Salah and Virgil van Dijk beyond the end of the season. The situation surrounding the trio proved to be an unnecessary distraction as the Reds battle to win the Championship Premier League title, and the latest twist in the saga will be unwelcome news.
Every Liverpool fan knows how important the pair have been to the club’s success since the days of Jurgen Klopp, and both players have emphasized their importance this season.
Salah has already contributed an incredible 31 goals in the Premier League this season, and the captain is also one of the most consistent performers in the team, with an average match rating on WhoScored 7.08.
The latest report shows that the two have a combined income of £570,000 per weekare now very close to leaving the club, so FSG must step in quickly and make a suitable contract offer themselves, otherwise they risk derailing Arne Slaughterside’s championship bid.
