Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk all have just one year left on their Liverpool contracts. Nat Phillips too, though this is likely of decidedly lesser importance to FSG and Michael Edwards.
It’s clear that the Reds need to bolster Arne Slot’s first team this summer but the first port of call must surely be to ensure the future of some of Anfield’s most important members. Losing any of that holy trinity might be detrimental in the wake of Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
But others may well find themselves headed for the exit, with Luis Diaz at the front of the pack in this regard, pursued by Barcelona and transfer-listed for €75m (£63m) resultingly.
Now, though, another star looks like he might be on the way out, with interest in the wantaway Joe Gomez growing.
