All three players are out of contract in the summer of 2025, with no new deal on the horizon for any of them. However, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara thinks they will be more inclined to stay if the Reds can win the Premier League title this season.
They look on course to do so at the moment – as things stand, Liverpool are top of the Premier League table by five points, with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in second.
Jamie O’Hara speaks on Liverpool
In an interview with Grosvenor Sport, O’Hara said: “If Liverpool win the league, I can see it making Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold wanting to stay. It would be a very exciting time at the club, they’d feel part of a team that would be thinking they could win everything! It certainly doesn’t push them out of the door.
“For me, I think Van Dijk will stay at the club. Salah has a decision to make – does he want to stay and be one of the best players in the world, or does he want to go and earn a million pounds a week in Saudi Arabia?
“I hope he stays for another few years, he has time on his side, and he is still that good. He should wait and go later down the line, if I’m Liverpool then I’m throwing any amount of money at him to keep him, he is still the best player in the Premier League for me.
“Trent’s position looks like a difficult one for me, he’s young and ambitious and I think he will go. Real Madrid will come knocking on the door as Dani Carvajal is coming to the end of his time there and he fits the bill. It must be a very attractive proposition and I think it’ll be hard to turn down, but we’ll see what happens.”
