WHAT HAPPENED?

The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw by rivals Manchester United on Sunday in a thrilling Premier League encounter at Anfield. A day after the game, Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah shared a cryptic photograph on social media of himself alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk. Interestingly all three players are in the final year of their contracts and are yet to be offered a new deal by the club.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

Liverpool fans were left guessing with the X post as they were quick to react to their star player’s photograph.

A fan named Alex Hilton wrote: “Interesting choice of pic.”

Another Reds supporter named Jahin wrote: “Interesting photo selection here…”

An Arsenal fan with the X handle named Big Willy wrote: “Smart photo to put the heat on the club.”

Josh Williams wrote: “So unbelievably bored of these vague guessing games. It’s all getting a bit too Coronation Street now.”

Angus Sinclair posted: “Interesting that Salah should post this photo, with these three players, at this particular time.”

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Alexander-Arnold has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid and the Spanish giants reportedly placed their first bid with Liverpool on New Year’s Eve only to face rejection. Los Blancos, however, remain confident of landing the England international either in January for a meagre transfer fee or for free in the summer. Salah and Van Dijk too are yet to commit their futures and the Egyptian recently admitted that he still isn’t any closer to signing a new contract with the Premier League giants.
