When Arne Slot first stepped through the doors at AXA training center, he made it clear that there were four players that he believed he could build a new-look Liverpool team around to kick on from the Jurgen Klopp era.
Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold were all considered to be crucial components to the Dutchman’s vision.
But if he wants to keep hold of those three, he may have to do some convincing.
The trio all see their contracts expire at the end of the season, and all will no doubt have interests
from other parties. Then there’s the future of Alisson to think about.
With the potential signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili,
the Reds could be planning for life without the 31-year-old. GIVEMESPORT has predicted how Slot’s XI could look like next year and what might happen to his all-important stars.
