Once again, Arne Slot was asked about the uncertainty over the future of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah whose contracts with Liverpool expire next summer.
This time, the Liverpool head coach was asked about whether this ongoing situation concerned him.
For me, the contract situation could become a problem if the players don’t perform as well as they do at the moment,” Slot answered.
Of course, it’s not sure that if they perform not as good any more that it has anything to do with their contract situation.
At the moment all three of them are in a good place, all of them perform really, really, really well and there are ongoing discussions, as Virgil said, with the people he has to talk with, and that’s not me as you know. I talk with him about other things.
Let’s wait and see but all what he said is completely right in that he doesn’t exactly know what the future will be as long as he doesn’t sign the contract yet.
