Speaks exclusively to LFC Transfer Roomwith the permission of BetVictor, Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson addressed the contract situation for Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold.
Should Trent Alexander-Arnold stay at Liverpool or leave Real Madrid in January?
Glen Johnson: “Obviously when giants like Madrid come calling it’s hard to say no but he’s been a bit of a legend, he’s from the city, he’s a local lad so it’s going to be hard for him to leave but he’s been very successful, won an awful lot.
“When the big teams come calling when you’ve only got six months or so left on your contract it’s hard to say no. If they can win the league now this season I think nobody can say anything to him whatever he decides for.”

So it’s a tough call but I think Liverpool will try to do what they can to keep both.
