Arne Slot has refused to comment on the ongoing speculation surrounding the future of key Liverpool trio Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, though admitted he was involved in their contract talks in at least some capacity.
All three players’ contracts expire at the end of the season, meaning they are free to discuss terms with foreign clubs from January onwards, with Real Madrid, in particular, heavily linked with a move for the England right-back Alexander-Arnold.
