DEVASTATING NEWS: Fabrizio Romano has disclosed a very disturbing news about Liverpool plans to axe two of the club senior players as the club are being frustrated with the performance of the players this season.
Juergen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk will not be signing any new contracts unless Liverpool has a plan in place, Footballwave has been informed.
We recognise that, even as they prepare for Mohamed Salah’s potential departure to the Saudi Pro League in 2024, the Reds want to secure the long-term future of the club legends.
Towards the end of the most recent transfer window, Al-Ittihad made a world-record bid of £150 million for Salah, but their offer was turned down. Liverpool, anticipating his potential departure, wants both Klopp and Van Dijk to commit to their futures so they can begin organising an offensive to challenge Manchester City’s dominance.
Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League last season, and the Citizens have won four of the previous five titles. The team is now focused on unseating Pep Guardiola’s team in the upcoming years, and they think that signing extensions for Klopp and Van Dijk will be essential to achieving that goal.
Because Liverpool is willing to give Klopp money from the potential Salah deal in addition to a sizable sum for summer signings, Klopp’s future is extremely important.
Liverpool hopes to extend Van Dijk’s contract in light of his improving play. His current contract expires in 2025. The Dutchman may have a coaching role in the future, according to sources.
According to the announcement made in April of last year, Klopp will be staying with Liverpool for an additional two years, meaning that his current contract with the team will expire in the summer of 2026.
He had been with the team for three extensions after joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2015.
The German, who guided the team to their most prosperous Premier League era, is regarded as one of the club’s greatest-ever coaches.
