Liverpool’s contract offer has displeased key player, who may now depart in the summer

Liverpool are currently grappling with contract issues concerning several of their players.

At the forefront of these concerns are Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, all of whom are entering the final year of their contracts.

Their long-term futures at Anfield remain in question, and with the start of the new year, these players will have the opportunity to negotiate pre-contract agreements with other clubs.

Another Liverpool player now facing questions about his future at the club is Luis Diaz.

Reports from Colombia suggest that discussions between Liverpool and Diaz regarding a new contract are not progressing smoothly.

According to Colombian outlet Antenna 2, Diaz’s future at the club remains uncertain, as the offer Liverpool made was not well received by the Colombian international.

The club’s offer was far from what Diaz expected, which could potentially lead to his departure at the end of the season.

Despite this, negotiations will continue with Diaz over a new contract, and Liverpool are determined to finalize it soon. However, a failure to reach an agreement could see him leave the club in 2025.

The 27-year-old has been one of the standout players this season for Arne Slot’s side, contributing to the team’s success with 17 wins out of the 19 matches played so far.

While things are going well on the pitch for Liverpool, off-the-field issues, particularly the future of some of their players, are proving problematic.

Liverpool have mishandled the contract situation

It is quite surprising to see a club as well-managed as Liverpool struggling to secure new deals for their players.

Alongside Salah, Van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold, Diaz is a key figure for the club’s ambitions of winning silverware in the future.

Losing any of these players next year would deal a significant blow to the project that Slot is building at Anfield.

Among all the players, Caoimhin Kelleher is the one most likely to be sold by the club next summer.

Liverpool target Premier League star as future replacement for key defender

Liverpool is reportedly interested in Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez as they prepare to replace Andy Robertson, according to Teamtalk. The Reds have made an impressive start this season, currently sitting just one point behind league leaders Manchester City.

In the Champions League, they have won all their matches so far, signaling a promising future under new manager Arne Slot, who believes the team can compete for major titles this season. However, Slot is concerned about the futures of several players at Anfield, as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil Van Dijk are all in the final year of their contracts.

Slot is looking to reinforce his squad in key positions, particularly at left-back, where Robertson has struggled this season, notably in the recent match against Arsenal. The report suggests that the Premier League club sees Kerkez as a long-term replacement for the 30-year-old Robertson, whose best years may be behind him.

Milos Kerkez is willing to consider a transfer to Liverpool

Bournemouth is aware that Kerkez is likely in his final season at the club and anticipates that a transfer to a larger English club will occur next year. Liverpool is expected to make a bid for the defender, seemingly leading the race for his signature.

Milos Kerkez is reportedly open to a move to Liverpool, viewing it as an ideal opportunity to advance his career. However, the Reds will face competition from Manchester United, who are also seeking cover for injury-prone players Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

Recent comments from Slot suggest he may no longer prefer to start Robertson, with Kostas Tsimikas taking his place in the lineup. Additionally, there is speculation that Trent Alexander-Arnold could also leave the club.
