Respected Liverpool journalist reveals ‘whispers’ growing around player Arne Slot cannot afford to lose

A highly regarded journalist has divulged all of the information that he is aware of regarding the future of a key Liverpool player, and it is not Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, or Trent Alexander-Arnold.

There is a possibility that the Reds will not receive a transfer fee for the three players who were mentioned because their contracts will expire at the end of the current season.

In particular, Salah, who is 32 years old, has been the most vocal about his future ambitions over the course of the past few months.

Despite this, the Egyptian has continued to demonstrate his remarkable abilities, as he has participated in 38 matches for the Premier League leaders, during which he has scored 30 goals and recorded 21 assists.

Even more impressively, he broke six records during Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. This victory allowed Liverpool to move 11 points ahead of Arsenal, who were in second place.

Slot has a number of reasons to be optimistic, including the fact that they are currently in the round of sixteen of the Champions League and that they are in the final of the Carabao Cup, which they will be playing against Newcastle.

On the other hand, the contractual situations of Alexander-Arnold, who is 26 years old, Van Dijk, who is 33 years old, and Salah will undoubtedly be on his mind. Slot, who is 46 years old, will be eager to prevent a situation like this from occurring the following year.

His current contract is set to expire in June 2026, and despite the fact that the club is reportedly offering him new terms, French centre-back Ibrahima Konate has not yet signed a new deal. His current contract is set to expire.

It has been reported by Paul Joyce of The Times that there are increasing rumours of interest from Real Madrid, the champions of La Liga, and Paris Saint-Germain, a team that competes in Ligue 1.

During the current season, the defensive positions of Carlo Ancelotti’s team have been plagued by an injury crisis. Players such as Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Eder Militao have all suffered injuries that have lasted for an extended period of time.

The veteran Brazilian centre back Marquinhos is a stalwart in the side of Paris Saint-Germain, which is managed by Luis Enrique. However, it appears that there is room for the arrival of another defender to complement the veteran Brazilian.

When asked if he had been offered a new contract by the club, Konate, who is 25 years old, responded “Yes” during a press conference that took place a month ago during which he addressed the situation.

Regarding the question of whether or not he was getting close to signing it, he responded by saying, “This is another conversation.”

As part of a formidable defensive partnership with Van Dijk, the centre back has made 29 appearances for Liverpool this season. Together, they have a strong defensive presence.
