Liverpool are flying under new boss Arne Slot, but that hasn’t stopped the recruitment team at Anfield from looking ahead to the future.
There is no clear weakness in the current Liverpool squad, but the contract situations of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold could pose an issue.
As it stands, all three will be leaving Liverpool for free come the end of the season, and although the club may already have an alternative lined up for Alexander-Arnold, the same is certainly not true for Mo Salah.
As such, the Reds must turn to the transfer market if their talisman is to leave, and it could be another Egyptian that comes in to replace him.
