In the last week Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who were also due to become free agents in June, have signed new two-year contracts but the position of Alexander-Arnold is less clear.

"But if you want to talk for hours about Trent, it is the same answer: we don’t talk about these things that aren’t done yet and they aren’t and that’s why we don’t talk in public about the situation.

Slot believes securing Salah and Van Dijk is the start of the champions-elect’s squad strengthening process.

After last Sunday’s win over West Ham Van Dijk suggested the club had a big summer ahead in the transfer window and Slot accepts fresh faces are often helpful in bringing new energy.

"I think at Liverpool there is always a big summer and by already holding on to two (Salah and Van Dijk) it is already a big summer," he said.

"Let’s see what the rest of the summer will bring but it would be strange for me to say now I am not happy with the team because I’ve said this for a year, we are happy with the team we are having.
