Liverpool

Leicester

<p>Salah and Alexander-Arnold are reportedly considering leaving Liverpool in 2025 following the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/500k-a-week-trent-alexander-arnold-tipped-sign-record-breaking-deal-real-madrid-transfer-prediction-liverpool-star/blt18ac535d63e5b983" target="_blank">expiration of their respective contracts</a> with the Reds. Arne Slot’s side are attempting to renew the terms of both club legends, but slow progress has been made in extension talks.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Salah has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/love-mohamed-salah-psg-president-nasser-al-khelaifi-new-vow-liverpool-forward-transfer-rumours/blt133e88f81523a53b" target="_blank">linked with Paris Saint-German</a> and teams in Saudi Arabia, while England international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-tipped-challenge-ballon-d-or-real-madrid-ex-liverpool-striker-mate-jude-bellingham-swaying-transfer-decision/blt6667f289e8651a51" target="_blank">Alexander-Arnold is said to be interesting Real Madrid</a>. Ruddock has now talked about the departure of both next summer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-contract" target="_blank"><em>FourFourTwo</em></a>, Ruddock said: “Players come to the end of their contracts but I’m sure they’ve been talking, you don’t leave it until after Christmas, I’m sure there’s a lot going on.</p><p>“I’m sure Liverpool are trying their hardest to keep the three of them there, but as a footballer, you can’t blame them if they want to taste playing abroad, playing for Real Madrid – for a young player like Trent, you can’t really blame him.</p><p>“For the older lads like Salah, I can also understand. Why would you stay a couple more years if you don’t think you’re going to be the player you were and you lose that hero status?</p><p>“There will be a lot of conversations going on between the players, the people who look after them and the club, there’s a lot to weigh up. For all three of them, I hope they stay, but you can also understand it if they go.”</p>

WHAT RUDDOCK SAID

<p>The Reds will continue with their efforts to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-leave-liverpool-free-exciting-clubs-trent-alexander-arnold-virgil-van-dijk-stay-anfield/blt5e92a7047a13c256" target="_blank">get Salah and Alexander-Arnold to remain at Anfield</a>. Liverpool will be in action next when they take on Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, December 22.</p>
