JAKARTA - Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he was not worried about the contracts of his three senior players, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The future of all three is not yet clear at Anfield. They will expire at the end of this season and will be able to talk to clubs outside England when the winter exchange opens on January 1, 2025.

However, Arne Slot insists that he believes he still has control over the future of the three players.

"I think I have a lot of control over what they do. If they are on the training ground, if they are in a meeting with me, but talking about personal life, I have no control over them."

"So, that's the situation I experienced a year ago. There was a situation as long as I was a manager."

"However, I have control to some extent against them, about what I expect from them on the pitch. I am very happy to see what Virgil brings, what Trent brings, and what Mo brings."

"Now the positive thing for me is that for four or five months, only Trent, Mo, and Virgil, are you talking about."

"I assume, and don't disappoint me, that people will now talk about how many players we will take next month and which players will leave."

"So I also got a few other questions. Not only about this!" said Arne Slot.

Apart from that, Arne Slot hinted that Liverpool would be passive in the winter market because he was happy with his squad now.

"I said this six months ago and everyone said, am I crazy? However, I think the players show that the trust the club and I put in them deserves it," said the Dutchman.

Liverpool returned to action at home to Manchester United at Anfield on January 5, 2025, before they faced Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup semifinals four days later.
