With several of their best players nearing the end of their contracts, Liverpool may be in for a summer transfer shuffle.
The contracts for Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all expire in 2025. If a deal cannot be made, the Reds may consider accepting offers for all three players rather than letting them go for nothing next summer. Alexander-Arnold has apparently drawn attention from the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund being linked to Van Dijk. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has been touted as a possible destination for the player. Meanwhile, Liverpool successfully repelled a massive offer from Al-Ittihad for Salah during the summer. But the Saudi Pro League team might come back to try to make the Egyptian the face of their league, so Richard Hughes, the new sporting director, will have to make a huge call.
A replacement forward will need to be signed if the new Anfield management decides to cash in on Salah. EX-RED SUPPORTS KUDUS IN PLACE OF SALAH Should the team decide to move Salah, former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique thinks Kudus would be a good substitute. He told Grosvenor Sports last month that he believed Mohammed Kudus might be a Salah substitute. “I would have said that even last summer, and he is obviously performing incredibly well for West Ham right now.”
