Liverpool superfan and former AFC Wimbledon star Adebayo Akinfenwa recently voiced what many Reds supporters are thinking: how has Liverpool allowed Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk to enter the final months of their contracts without renewal?
Speaking candidly on talkSPORT, Akinfenwa didn’t mince words about his frustration with Liverpool’s handling of these crucial player contracts. “How do you let three of your franchise players run down their contracts at the same time?” he questioned, highlighting the impact these contract uncertainties could have on Liverpool’s future.
As Anfield’s leadership wrestles with changes in sporting directors and staff, the lack of urgency to secure their star trio has left fans anxious. The possibility of losing even one of these players would be significant, but with all three entering the final stretch of their contracts, Akinfenwa and others are right to question the club’s strategy—or lack thereof.
