48 days: Liverpool face crucial deadline to renew key contracts

Liverpool has just 48 days to reach new agreements with Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with their current contracts set to expire in June 2025.

The trio represents the backbone of the team, and failure to secure renewals before the deadline could see them leave the club as free agents in less than a year. The club’s hierarchy is now under pressure to tie down these key players to long-term deals, with significant implications for the team’s future.

Salah, who has been a talisman for Liverpool since he arrived in 2017, is reportedly close to agreeing a new deal that would keep him at Anfield until 2028. This potential renewal would be a huge boost for the club, as the Egyptian forward continues to deliver outstanding performances, remaining one of the Premier League's top players.

Alongside Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold are both key to Liverpool’s defensive solidity and attacking play, respectively. With only a short time left to negotiate, Liverpool must act quickly to secure the futures of these stars.

If no agreement is reached by the January transfer window, rival clubs could be tempted to make a move for the trio, and the club could risk losing them for nothing.
