Liverpool's legendary trio targeted in stunning raid by Saudi clubs

Liverpool faces a raid from the Saudi Pro League clubs who want Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. Van Dijk and Salah are playing in the last season of their current contract with fans eagerly waiting for their extension.

Alisson, Van Dijk and Salah have continued to play key roles for the Reds under new head coach Arne Slot. Liverpool have won the first three Premier League games of the new season, beating Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United.

The Reds are the only club in the Premier League this season, not to concede a single goal so far. Furthermore, they are the only club apart from Manchester City to secure all nine points from the three games.

Liverpool legends Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker and Virgil van DIjk

Liverpool beat Man United 0-3 at Old Trafford to make an emphatic statement with Salah continuing his prolific goalscoring form. Meanwhile, Van Dijk and Alisson have played every minute, shoring up the defence which has helped Slot during this transition.

According to Fichajes, the Saudi pro league clubs want Alisson, Van Dijk and Salah in the upcoming summer transfer window. While Saudi clubs have the power to spend big, their league is still struggling with a reputation in the football world.

Meanwhile, new reports suggest that the Reds are preparing a new contract for Salah as his prolific form continues. Van Dijk could achieve a new contract as well if it financially benefits both the player and the club.

🚨🔴 Alisson confirms he rejected bid from Saudi: “Yes, they had interest. I want to honour my contract and finish my contract here or make a new one”.

Both the Liverpool captain and the Egyptian legend are the leaders of the locker room and have continued performing consistently this season. Liverpool have a policy that goes against giving lucrative contracts to ageing players but Van Dijk and Salah are anomalies.
