What about Trent? Souness names Van Dijk and Salah as crucial for Liverpool

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have put an end to speculation about their futures by extending their contracts with Liverpool. Many consider these deals to be extraordinarily important for the club, a sentiment echoed by former Merseyside player Graeme Souness.

Details: Souness emphasized that Salah and Van Dijk are irreplaceable, marking them as the most significant transfers for Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window. Trent Alexander-Arnold, on the other hand, doesn't hold the same status, which is why the "Scousers" might let him go to Real Madrid.

Quote: "I understand why Trent wants to try his luck at Real. He's been at Liverpool since he was 10 and has won everything there is to win with them. He might leave, he might not like it wherever he goes, and he'd come back because I'm sure he'll be welcomed back.

But when it comes to replacements, they have Conor Bradley, who I think will become a real player for Liverpool. He's very energetic, loves to go forward, and gets into the box more often than Trent. Trent has that ridiculous ability to strike at goal, which very few people I've seen in football possess. But the other two are irreplaceable," Souness said in an interview with Sky Sports.
