Fabrizio Romano Provides Updates on Contract Talks for Van Dijk, Trent, and Salah at Liverpool
Liverpool fans are holding their breath as the futures of three key players—Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold—hang in the balance with their contracts set to expire in 2025.
While there is growing interest from top European clubs, particularly Real Madrid, Fabrizio Romano has provided some much-needed clarity on the ongoing negotiations.
In his latest update, Romano confirmed that discussions are underway between the players and the club, but critical aspects still need to be resolved.
“Trent Alexander-Arnold remains on the list at Real Madrid, while we’re also waiting for important updates on his potential new contract with Liverpool, along with teammates Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
“All three players are talking with Liverpool, discussing with Liverpool, so let’s wait and see how this negotiation will go.
It’s not just about the salary, but also the length of the contract, and also the project and the direction Liverpool are going. These will all be discussed, so we’ll have to wait to see how it develops.
This could prove pivotal in securing the trio’s future at Anfield, as their decisions will depend not only on financial terms but also on the club’s vision for the coming years.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation has garnered significant attention, with Real Madrid monitoring his contract expiry closely.
“I keep getting a lot of questions on Alexander-Arnold in particular, and it remains the case that Real Madrid keep following the situation. Real Madrid are very well informed, but it’s still not advanced in terms of any negotiations, because the player’s priority is to discuss with Liverpool.”
Despite this, Romano emphasized that Alexander-Arnold’s priority is to first negotiate with Liverpool, underlining his commitment to his boyhood club for now.
Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk, a player who has redefined Liverpool’s defense since his arrival in 2018, remains a key figure in the squad.
Even at 33, the Dutch defender continues to play at an elite level. Mohamed Salah, too, shows no sign of slowing down, having been instrumental in Liverpool’s attacking success.
As Arne Slot’s reign at Liverpool continues to inspire confidence, the club will hope to keep these stars in their ranks, with all eyes now on how these crucial contract talks unfold in the coming months.
