“David Ornstein shares mixed updates on Liverpool contracts, noting the situation has changed.”
David Ornstein has provided an update on the contract situations of Liverpool trio Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool remain in a concerning position, as all three could potentially leave on free transfers when their contracts expire. Speaking in a Q&A session for The Athletic, Ornstein revealed that there is optimism within the club regarding Salah and Van Dijk staying, though Alexander-Arnold’s future remains uncertain due to interest from Real Madrid.
He explained that while no agreements have been finalized, both Salah and Van Dijk are eager to stay and continue performing at a high level, with Liverpool keen to keep them. However, Alexander-Arnold’s situation differs, as he is younger and attracting strong interest from Real Madrid.
The general industry belief is that Salah and Van Dijk are more likely to renew, while Alexander-Arnold could leave. While nothing is confirmed yet, Ornstein’s insight suggests this outcome is a real possibility.
