With each milestone in Liverpool's season seems to come a new headline about the nagging issue which has hovered over it.
After the Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain prompted a new round of contract questions, Virgil van Dijk's response that he had "no idea" if he'd still be at the club next season was the latest answer that caught the eye.
The likelihood remains that he is, of course, but until any deal remains signed and sealed there is a sense of uncertainty about how the extremely likely champions will look next season.
The smart money is still on Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah coming to an agreement and staying at Liverpool, with Trent Alexander-Arnold's future less certain as Real Madrid continue to hover.
But as the clock and those contracts tick down, the possibility that all three players depart has to be considered?
But what would the post-Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold world look like.
The rest of the defence could then be made up of some new additions, and specifically a double deal from sporting director Richard Hughes' former club Bournemouth, with centre-back Dean Huijsen and left-back Milos Kerkez both on the Reds' radar.
Jarell Quansah, Andy Robertson and potentially Joe Gomez, if he doesn't want to leave, will all get their fair share of games too.
MIDFIELD
The 2023 summer transfer window has to go down as one of Liverpool's best ever, with the complete midfield revamp they achieved now bearing fruit in terms of a likely Premier League title.
Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have all been vital to the Reds' efforts this season, and all of them deserve to keep their starting spots in the team for the next campaign.
