Liverpool manager Arne Slot has given “the same boring answer” about repeated questions around the futures of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk.
The trio of key players are out of contract at Anfield in 2025 but Slot said he had no update and suggested reporters should stop asking about their situations at the club.
“I could really understand it if you asked me once every two weeks,” Slot replied, speaking before his side’s trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday (12.30pm BST).
“But if you ask me this after two, three days again, you still get the same answer. It’s the same boring answer as always.”

Mohamed Salah contract
Forward Salah has made a typically prolific start to the season, directly contributing to goals in seven of Liverpool’s nine matches with six goals and five assists.
Four of each have come in six Premier League games, while the Egypt captain hit the woodwork in one of the games he did not score or assist in as Liverpool won 3-1 at Milan in the Champions League.
Wideman Alexander-Arnold and centre-back Van Dijk have also started all eight of Liverpool’s league and Champions League matches.
Captain Van Dijk scored against Milan and Alexander-Arnold has contributed two assists, putting himself on course to beat his tally of nine last season.

Mohamed Salah salary
Three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner Salah signed a new deal in July 2022 making him the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s history.
The 32-year-old’s lawyer and adviser, Ramy Abbas Issa, told a Harvard Business School study in 2023 that Salah earns at least £1 million a week in total income, boosted by factors such as his lucrative endorsements.
“Renewing at Liverpool would be one of the biggest milestones of my career,” Salah said in the study, via The Guardian.
““But we have to do this the right way. I’ve learned throughout my career that if you want to be successful, it is important to invest in yourself not just physically but also mentally.”
