Liverpool manager Arne Slot is adamant that the contract situations surround three of his key players are not a “distraction” as they fight for trophies on all fronts.
Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and captain Virgil van Dijk have all entered the final few months of their current deals and could leave Anfield for nothing in the summer.
Speculation over the trio’s futures has mounted in recent weeks, particularly after Liverpool were held to a 2-2 at home by Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday’s League Cup semi-final first leg against Tottenham Hotspur, Slot says he does not believe the predicament has any bearing on the team’s performances.
