Salah, Van Dijk and Fabinho‘s contracts expire in June 2023, while Alisson‘s doesn’t run out until June 2024.
However, this just shows how pragmatic Liverpool are.
The Reds clearly don’t want to put themselves in a perilous position when it comes to four players who are arguably their most important.
Alisson, Van Dijk, Fabinho and Salah form a quite formidable spine in Klopp’s team, and they simply must be kept at Anfield.
