The contract saga of Liverpool's three key leaders shows no signs of ending, as more clubs are emerging as contenders for the top stars of the Merseyside team.
Details: According to Al Jazeera, Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has begun negotiations with Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal. It is believed that the club’s president, Fahad bin Nafel, held talks with the player's agent in London, and the interest from the Middle Eastern club is considered serious. It remains unclear how van Dijk himself feels about the potential move.
Reminder: It was previously reported that van Dijk’s teammate, Mohamed Salah, is also likely to join Al-Hilal, with his transfer being considered 99% complete.
Meanwhile, it is known that the final member of the trio, Trent Alexander-Arnold, will not be moving to Real Madrid this winter, as club president Florentino Pérez has ruled out transfers in the January window.
