Liverpool are braced to fend off some advances for their key players over the summer transfer window.

There is some uncertainty over one or two in the Liverpool squad as the club begins a period of upheaval.

When a new manager takes over, it is never initially clear what his intentions will be.

The main uncertainty at Liverpool is currently in regards to those players who’s contracts only have one year left to run.

Mohamed Salah is obviously one of those and it remains to be seen whether an approach comes from the Middle East this year.

Last time, Al Hilal waited until transfer deadline day before making a massive offer to Liverpool for Salah.

The Liverpool captain reportedly took a meeting with Al Nassr ahead of Euro 2024.

And it’s Al Nassr, the club of Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo who would appear to pose the most threat to Liverpool right now.

According to TeamTALK though, it isn’t Salah or Van Dijk who the Riyadh based side want the most.

They are said to be desperate to make the 31-year-old a ‘statement signing’.

Had Klopp still been at Liverpool, then it would have been hard to think of anything other than Alisson staying at the club this summer.

The goalkeeper was a real favourite of the manager and vice-versa, and for good reason.

As Micah Richards mentioned in January, Alisson has been ‘phenomenal’ for Liverpool for ages.

With Klopp in the dugout, there really would be no grounds for the Brazil international to leave at all.

However, the manager’s exit has just led to the feeling that the slate could be wiped completely clean.

As a result, speculation over the futures of the likes of Alisson and Van Dijk feels more of a worry than ever.

In terms of the goalkeeper, Liverpool do have a little more protection.
