Speculation around the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk continues, so we gave you the hypothetical situation that all three leave at the end of their contracts and asked what would happen next.
Here are some of your comments:
Steven: Would it be worse than Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush etc leaving? No. They are going to leave at some point. If they want to go, the club will survive.
Andy: Will have to do some remarkable transfer business to retain the title for 2025-26 season. They will be lucky to get into the top six without those three.
Ben: The club would be asking for trouble if that happened. You have three of the greatest players in the world, in form and on a hot streak of winning the league. How do you expect to win or challenge if you don't renew the contracts of the standout players of the season? Top scorer and easily the best finisher in the game, the best passer of the ball in the world and a tank of a defender who deals with most situations with absolute ease. Get those contracts drawn up, signed, sealed and delivered and let's continue bringing amazing times back to Anfield.
Scott: Everyone leaves sooner or later. Once they're gone, I don't care. Time to move on and support the team and who is playing for the team. No-one is bigger than the club.
Dan: If they all left on a free I would feel let down by the club. Salah and Van Dijk have both stated their desire to stay so how could the club then fail to come to an agreement with world-class players still performing at the highest level? It is a bit different with Alexander-Arnold. He hasn't stated his desire to stay so that's up to him. No hard feelings there.
Rae: Whatever the outcome of the Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold contracts, this surely reflects badly on Fenway Sports Group and the director of football. That all could leave the club for nothing is poor business strategy.
David: It wouldn't be the end of the world if all three left. We have a ready-made replacement for Alexander-Arnold in Conor Bradley and, given the age of the other two, they will need replacing in the near future, even if it isn't this summer. Given how little was spent last summer, there should be decent money available to buy replacements.
