The new sporting director of Liverpool Football Club, Richard Hughes, has revealed the fate of the contracts for trio Mohamed Salah, Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk, and English full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold: "This is a private and confidential matter between the club's management and the players." The sporting director explained, "The most important thing is the commitment and complete connection to the club and its project, and we are fully convinced this is the case for the trio." In the same context, the new coach Arne Slot commented at the same conference, stating, "In general, any star player wants to win titles." The Dutch coach added, "All players should have a strong desire to achieve victories." Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk's contracts with Liverpool are set to expire at the end of the new season (2024-2025), amid frequent rumors about interest from Saudi clubs in signing them.
