Liverpool head coach Arne Slot stated that the club is consistently communicating with key players Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold regarding their contracts. With all three out of contract at season's end, they can negotiate with overseas clubs starting January 1. However, Slot remains unconcerned about the situation as Liverpool continues to perform well, currently leading the Premier League.
Slot highlighted that even though fan speculation about player contracts might elevate interest, he prefers to keep such matters internal. He expressed satisfaction with the players' performances and their ongoing talks, emphasizing that as long as they continue their strong form, there is no immediate cause for concern.
On the injury front, Slot provided updates on Ibrahima Konaté and Conor Bradley, both of whom are recovering from long-term injuries. He confirmed they won’t return for the upcoming match against West Ham and indicated a cautious approach regarding their reintegration into the squad, noting their competition with fit players.
Overall, Slot maintained a positive outlook for Liverpool amid contract negotiations and injuries, reiterating his focus on the present and the team's performance in the Premier League, rather than on contract updates he finds irrelevant at this juncture.
