Liverpool is thriving under manager Arne Slot, yet the potential departure of key players Mohamad Salah and Virgil van Dijk looms as their contracts near expiry. While Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely moving to Real Madrid, the Liverpool owners are considering data over sentiment in negotiations with Salah, approaching 33, and Van Dijk, who is only a year older. FSG, guided by a Moneyball approach, may prioritize financial prudence, potentially allowing both players to leave for nothing, which would be a significant setback for the club.
According to reports, Liverpool's owners will base their decisions on Salah and Van Dijk's contracts on data and financial considerations, rather than emotional ties.
Salah is in impressive form, leading in goals and assists across Europe, but his approaching 33rd birthday might complicate contract negotiations.
