Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold to stay with huge caveat involving team-mate, warns ex Reds star

Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson believes that Mohamed Salah will leave the club this summer as the Egyptian star’s contract situation comes to a head.

Salah is one of three key Liverpool players who are now in the final year of their current Anfield contracts, alongside skipper Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

All three players are key figures in the Reds first-team and while Johnson believes only Salah will depart the club next summer, the club should not have put themselves in a position where such highly-rated players are so close to the end of their contracts.

“I believe Mo will leave and the other two [Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold] will stay,” Johnson told Betfred. “Each of them are going to have an endless list of clubs that will want to sign them if they’re available as a free agent and if Liverpool know that any of them aren’t going to sign a new contract, then I believe they’ve been foolish to not cash in.
