Not even Salah, it was Arne Slot's first demand at Liverpool and the untouchable player in the sqaud

Unlike Mohamed Salah, Liverpool and Arne Slot will want to make Virgil Van Dijk their top-priority player in the squad next season. The Dutch defender is rumored to leave the Reds next season with other clubs in Europe, like Borussia Dortmund, interested. Slot is from the Netherlands, like Van Dijk, which could make it easier to connect at Liverpool. Van Dijk's contract with Liverpool expires in the summer of 2025.

Other reports like Steve Bates suggest that Van Dijk is considering his future at Liverpool and isn’t rushing to sign a new deal after being disappointed with Jurgen Klopp’s decision to leave the club. Dortmund and clubs in Spain, Italy, and Turkey are monitoring the situation of Van Dijk at Liverpool. The defender is 32 years old and will turn 33 in July. If Van Dijk decides not to sign a contract extension, Liverpool could potentially be open to selling him this summer so he doesn't leave for free next year.

Van Dijk has played 45 matches in all competitions for Liverpool this season where he scored four goals and provided two assists. Van Dijk's market value is reportedly around $34.2 million, according to Transfermarkt. Since joining Liverpool in 2018, Van Dijk has made a total of 267 appearances with 32 goals and 12 assists. The Dutch defender joined Liverpool from Southampton for $94.7 million. Van Dijk's highest market was in 2019 when he was valued at $106.9 million.

Mohamed Salah's future at Liverpool is uncertain

While Liverpool wants to keep Van Dijk next season, Salah could potentially leave the club when his contract expires in the summer of 2025. Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in Salah this summer, and with one year left in his contract, Liverpool may accept a huge bid worth around $100 million. Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool will decide on Mo Salah’s future at the end of the season. Some fans want him out after his heated interaction with Jurgen Klopp in the West Ham United match yesterday.
