Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah remain 'desperate' to stay at Liverpool despite their precarious contract situations, it has been claimed.

Both players' current deals expire at the end of June, with Trent Alexander-Arnold - who is in the same position - set to join Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold's move to the Bernabeu is all but confirmed, though there may be some final details to iron out.



And, according to Sky Sports, both Salah and Van Dijk would rather stay at Anfield than play elsewhere.

The same publication reports there has been no breakthrough with top scorer Salah and captain Van Dijk.

Reports in Egypt, however, indicate talks between the club and Salah's agent Ramy Abbas have begun to gain traction.

Alexander-Arnold might not be the only Liverpool player on the move this summer.

He has received even less game time in the Premier League, though, prompting questions about where his future lies.

A number of potential replacements for Alexander-Arnold have been mentioned, with Liverpool likely to be busier this summer than they were in Arne Slot's first window as manager.

"So I think the way for Liverpool to go if Trent moves on is for Conor Bradley to be given his head, but also for Liverpool to buy a utility player who can play across the back-four, like what Joe Gomez has been in the past few years.”
