Virgil van Dijk’s future remains uncertain as Liverpool’s initial contract proposal ‘falls short of his hopes’ | Goal.com
Both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have reportedly secured agreements with Liverpool, while the club stays “tight-lipped” so Trent Alexander-Arnold isn’t hurried into a choice.
The three most prominent figures at Anfield are all set to be out of contract at the season’s end. Losing all three simultaneously would be disastrous.
Speculation is rife regarding the futures of Salah, who is courted by the Saudi Pro League, and Alexander-Arnold, with Real Madrid showing interest.
Van Dijk appears likely to stay at Liverpool, while many think Salah will opt to remain.

According to Anfield Edition, that’s the case, as their report claims the defender and the winger ‘have inked new contracts’ with the club.
They further mention that the club ‘remains tight-lipped’ regarding the situation to avoid spotlighting Alexander-Arnold, likely to prevent pressure on him prior to making a clear decision about his future.
The sentiment seems somewhat muddled, if the reports are accurate, given that knowing Liverpool is withholding announcements for Alexander-Arnold’s benefit, a site that covers the Reds has opted to do precisely what the club wishes to avoid.
