Arne Slot’s positive start to life on Merseyside continued on Saturday as Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool reside at the summit of the Premier League table having won six of their op𒀰ening seven games, putting them a point above Manchester City and Arsenal.

Though✨, despite the positiv♑ity results-wise, there are a number of players who a yet to commit their long-term future to the club and it’s causing a great deal of uncertainty ahead of the January transfer window.

Jason Cundy baffled by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation

Speaking on , Jason Cundy shared how baffled he is that Trent Alexander-Arnold could sign a pre-contract agreement in Janua🐬ry due to his deal expiring next summer.

“Trent’s the one that is a headsc꧅ratche🧸r for me,” Cundy said.

“Trent ꧃is 26, 25, 26. To allow him to go, that is ridiculous for me🧜. Trent now, he has got the golden ticket, Trent.

“He is 26ไ years of age. Obviously, he wants to stay, you would have thought, at Liverpool, he has been there since he was six, right?😼

“20 years he has been at that football club. He’s very much part of the future of the football club. For us to be having the conver🤪sation about what might happen to him on the first of Janu🧸ary, he can sign a pre-contract with Real Madrid on the first of Jan.

“That’s three months away. Think about that. That is insane. Walk for nothing. Liverpool fans will remember Steve McManaman going to Real Madrid 🧜on a Bosman. He left. Did exactly the same thing. Walked out.”

TBR Football reported last week that Liverpool are willing to offer ꦇAlexander-Arnold a substantial contract offer in order to ward off interest from Real Madrid.

It’𒈔d place him among the highest earners at the club.

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk also out of contract

Mo꧙hamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are also out of contract next year and there’s🤪 no sign of a renewal at this stage.

Salah has already ad♓mitted he’s treating this season like his last at Liverpool, so it really♊ does feel like there’s a bit of pressure to deliver a trophy before a possible rebuild.

Van Dijk isn’t getting any younger either with the Liverpool skipper turning 33 over 🐻the summer whilst Salah turns the same age next June.
