Liverpool: Arne Slot thinks the ongoing contract talks could actually help Liverpool. As they get ready for a big match against Manchester United, he sees a silver lining.
With all the buzz around players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk, it’s been a hot topic lately. All three are out of contract this summer, and there’s been chatter about Alexander-Arnold after Liverpool turned down a Real Madrid offer.
Slot mentioned that this speculation might keep the team grounded. He said, “Maybe it’s even helpful now you ask me.” He believes that if everyone just praised them, he’d have to remind the players to stay focused and keep improving.
He reassured that the contract talks aren’t a distraction. “For me, it doesn’t distract at all,” he said. “We get enough credit for how we play, and we don’t even talk about this speculation with the players.”
As Alexander-Arnold gets ready to face United at Anfield, Slot isn’t worried about how fans will react. He trusts the fans to support their players, saying they’ve always been there for the team.
He’s confident that Alexander-Arnold will be ready to play on Sunday. “In football, it’s tough to predict the future,” he added. “But I know he’s focused and ready to go.”
