EPL: Liverpool Gets Suggestion On Who To Keep Between Van Dijk And Salah
Danny Murphy, the former Liverpool player, has helped the Reds suggest who to retain between Mohamed Sallah and Virgil van Dijk.
Nation Post reports that the duo’s contracts expire in 2025, and there are speculations about their future at the club.
Amidst the imminent departure of manager Jurgen Klopp, reports suggest that both players could potentially leave.
However, amid uncertainties surrounding the contracts of key players at Anfield, Murphy believes that Van Dijk will be more important to retain due to the vital role he plays in strengthening Liverpool’s defensive line.
Despite Salah’s exceptional goal-scoring abilities, Murphy argues that Liverpool’s ability to create scoring opportunities can help mitigate the impact of his potential departure.
On the other hand, losing Van Dijk would require the club to find a new defensive cornerstone, which would present a more significant challenge for Liverpool.
“I actually think the most important signing to keep is van Dijk, I know that sounds a bit silly because of Salah’s goals, but Liverpool don’t struggle to make chances.
“They have obviously in the recent month to six weeks struggled to convert them, of course, we know that but they don’t struggle to make chances. I think van Dijk going would be a bigger blow than Salah, in my opinion,” He told Boot Room.
