In a recent interview, new Liverpool manager Slotter addressed the renewal of contracts of several key players in the squad. He specifically mentioned Arnold, Van Dyke and Salah, whose contracts are set to expire in the summer of 2025, stating that the future of these players will depend on their performances and the club's decisions.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Slotter emphasized, "When the players are doing well, the initiative [whether to renew their contracts] is in their own hands. Of course, if they have the desire to renew their contracts, then it will also depend on the club and our willingness to offer them a new contract." This statement reflects the importance placed on the performance of the players, but also reveals the club's flexibility and openness when it comes to contract extensions.
Currently, Arnold, Van Dyke and Salah are the core players in the Liverpool team and their performance is crucial to the team's performance. However, as the contract period is approaching, speculations and rumors about their future are gradually increasing. Salah in particular, according to a previous report by the Echo, may leave Liverpool on a free agent transfer at the end of the season, which undoubtedly brings great uncertainty to the team and fans.
However, Slaughter's statement seems to offer a glimmer of hope for the future of these players. He made it clear that as long as the players can maintain their outstanding performance, the club will seriously consider their request for contract renewal. At the same time, he also emphasized the club's positive attitude on the issue of contract renewal, saying that he is willing to have frank communication with the players and try his best to satisfy their reasonable requests.
For Liverpool fans, this is certainly a positive sign. They want to see the team retain these core players and continue to contribute to the team's future. At the same time, they are also looking forward to a new period of glory for Liverpool under the leadership of new manager Sloter.
