Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, key players for Liverpool, are all out of contract at the end of the season. Salah recently admitted that contract talks with the Anfield hierarchy were “far away”. Despite this uncertainty, Salah has been performing exceptionally well, scoring 21 goals in 27 appearances and helping Liverpool top both the Premier League and Champions League. On Monday, Salah posted a cryptic photo of himself, Alexander-Arnold, and Van Dijk in action during Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United, sparking speculation on social media.
Jamie Carragher, speaking to Sky Sports, said “You know what I would say? The way he’s conducted himself, his performances on the pitch, the way he’s led the team. The way he was yesterday as well. He hasn’t got involved in too much. It’s obviously a really important time for all three players – we know that – but I think rather than speak about Trent Alexander-Arnold or Mo Salah, I’d probably like to pay tribute to Virgil van Dijk. He’s been asked questions – he’s knocked it away. He’s here, he wants to win the league, he wants to do his utmost for Liverpool and fingers crossed, he signs. I think the other two could maybe look at Virgil van Dijk and take a leaf out of his book.”
In response to Carragher’s comments, Salah took to social media.
Mohamed Salah said “I’m starting to think you’re obsessed with me [winky face].”
