Liverpool knew the day would come when their deadly front three of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino would be split up, but not even Jurgen Klopp could have foreseen all three leaving in the space of a year.
That nightmare could become a reality with all three players entering the final 12 months of their contracts. The Anfield club have been desperate to tie down Mane and Salah to new deals but both have been reluctant to commit their futures.
Salah insists he will remain at Liverpool next year, but has been coy about where he will be beyond 2023. Mane's situation is slightly more alarming after it emerged this week that he wants to seek a new challenge with Bayern Munich reportedly ready to launch a summer bid.
