A question mark for Liverpool after stopping in the Champions League

An An |

The Champions League defeat has not ruined Liverpool's season, but there will be big questions about the future of the pillars.

Liverpool have suffered their biggest blow of the season, losing to Paris St Germain on the penalty spot in the Champions League and being eliminated. However, The Kop still have many other opportunities to win the title.

Arne Slot's side are top of the Premier League table with 15 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. They will also aim to win their first title under Slot in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.

However, all of this comes amid a problem surrounding the contracts of three stars, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Slot was somewhat confused when facing a contract problem right after the loss to PSG.

Whether Liverpool can win the Champions League or not will not necessarily change the decision of the three stars mentioned above. However, being eliminated early will certainly make them make faster choices.

Rumors from within Anfield are that the executives are impatient with the constant deadlock. After the Carabao Cup final ends, they look forward to negotiations, especially as the Premier League title is in hand. And clearly, Slot's plans for next season need to start seriously.

Spanish media confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will arrive at the Bernabeu this summer. Joshua Kimmich's contract extension with Bayern Munich has further determined Real to recruit Arnold. Therefore, the England international is certainly the one with the highest possibility of leaving Anfield.

Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk has said that anyone who insists he is about to sign a new deal is " lying". However, there is still optimism within Liverpool that the Dutch centre-back will still be the captain in the coming season.

"I don't know. really don't know at the moment. nothing is delayed at all. There are 10 more matches left in the season and that is my entire focus. If there is any new news, you will know. But I don't even know anything yet," Van Dijk said after the loss to PSG.

For Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian's future is the most unpredictable. There is no doubt that Salah was expected to join the Saudi Pro League last summer. And this tournament was still the destination of the Egyptian at one point. However, after a brilliant successful season at Anfield, will Salah change his mind?

"It's creative to ask about the contract at the moment. That is the last thing I think about at the moment. Liverpool have shown themselves and we hope we will be luckier next year" - Slot expressed his frustration when asked about the future of the pillars after the loss to PSG.
