"Same question, same answer." Slot keeps Liverpool star's contract situation under wraps
The uncertainty surrounding the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk is causing concern among both Liverpool fans and journalists. Time and again, they turn to Liverpool's head coach, Arne Slot, for answers, but the Dutchman has remained elusive.
Details: Slot continues to keep the public in the dark about the contract situations of his star trio. Whether he genuinely doesn’t know or is choosing to keep things under wraps is anyone’s guess.
Quote: "What’s happening is that they were with their national teams, and Trent scored a fantastic free-kick. Same question, same answer – there will always be talks, and it's normal that you ask. If they played poorly – not that they did this time! – it’s good that you ask about their contract extensions, because it means they’re playing well. I can’t say anything about that, just like last time," Slot said at a press conference.
Reminder: Previously, reports emerged that Alexander-Arnold had turned down a contract extension with Liverpool to pursue a move to Real Madrid.
