Glen Johnson shares insights on Salah and Van Dijk’s contract situations at Liverpool
Liverpool: Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson recently shared his thoughts on the contract situations of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. He believes they might have been waiting to see how the team performed after Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
Both Salah and Van Dijk, along with Trent Alexander-Arnold, have contracts that are running out soon. If they don’t sign new deals, they could leave for free at the end of the season. They can also talk to other clubs about potential moves.
Johnson mentioned that the players were likely curious about who the new manager would be and how the team would perform. He noted that they might have been surprised by their current league position, which could influence their decisions.
He explained that if Liverpool were struggling, the players might have been more inclined to leave. But now that they’re doing well under new manager Arne Slot, the situation is more complicated for them.
Johnson also touched on the ongoing speculation about Alexander-Arnold’s future, especially with interest from Real Madrid. He thinks that while Madrid is a big draw, Liverpool still has a strong chance to keep him if the offers are similar.
