With the new era building, the Merseyside club might be in for some serious glory years ahead. However, looking after their seasoned players who&rsquo;ve been here since the rough is something Liverpool might be failing at.&nbsp;<\/p><p>With three of their veterans Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold running out of contracts in June, the negotiations for their extension have been slow. Moreover, some of the stars are also speculated for an exit from Anfield at the end of the season.&nbsp;<\/p><p>With Alexander-Arnold in his peak years and the veteran duo still in shape, Liverpool might have stretched it too far with no negotiations being held. As a result, the future of some of their best players still is in a blur and could cost them a heavy price.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Only five players remain from Liverpool's 2019 Champions League Final starting XI &#127942;<br><br>Three of the five are out of contract in the summer &#128064; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dT2SaV90GH\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/dT2SaV90GH<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNUK\/status\/1906791105452236969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 31, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salah&rsquo;s Renewal a Belief, But Losing Van Dijk &amp; TAA Would Be a Disaster for Liverpool<\/h2><p>Salah has mentioned about being uncertain about his future at Liverpool earlier this season. Seeing the Egyptian have a successful season, he&rsquo;s most likely to be wanted by clubs from all over the world should he decide to depart.<\/p><p>The 33-year-old winger was reportedly upset with the length of the previous contract offered by Liverpool. With his age taken into consideration, the Reds seem to be unwilling to offer Salah a secured contract. Salah who currently earns around &pound;400,000 per week is the highest-paid Liverpool player right now.&nbsp;<\/p><p>With recent rumours of the Egyptian being very close to a contract renewal, fans could take a sigh of relief. However, the talks of offers from Saudi Arabia continue to intrigue the scenario given the amount of wages they are willing to pay.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Van Dijk on the other page could be said to face a similar situation to Salah. Given that the centre-back turns 34 this year, Liverpool has been hesitant to offer the Dutchman a long-term contract. Van Dijk who joined Liverpool for a record fee of &pound;75 million, could also leave as a free agent when his contract expires in June.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; If Van Dijk and Salah sign extensions, less business will need to be conducted this summer but those contracts would still put a dent in the funds available for transfers.
