Anfield revived from a goal down to launch a stunning comeback against Brighton, taking them back to the top of the Premier League. The title race is on, driven by the Reds’ talisman, Mohamed Salah, who scored the equaliser. Anfield erupted in celebration, with Darwin Núñez joining in the excitement after the goal. Jamie Carragher has shared his belief that Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are likely to re-sign with Liverpool, but he expressed concerns about the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool faces the prospect of losing their iconic trio of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer if circumstances do not improve. All three superstars will see their contracts expire at Anfield at the end of the season. Arne Slot has confirmed that Van Dijk is currently in negotiations with the club, and he believes that Salah and Alexander-Arnold are also in a positive situation, despite Salah being linked to the Saudi Pro League and Real Madrid intensifying their interest in Alexander-Arnold.
Carragher believes Trent is Real Madrid bound
The former duo, aged 33 and 32 respectively, are unlikely to take a step up in their careers, according to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher. He believes this increases the likelihood that both players will sign new contracts with the club.
However, the young Englishman is just 26 and in the prime of his career. He has recently expressed his ambition to win the Ballon d’Or. Whether Real Madrid will give him that opportunity over Liverpool is debatable.
“I’m pretty confident that the two older lads will sign. They’re at a stage where it’s difficult to move on to a better club than Liverpool,”
“When I played, the two only clubs where players would want to move on to were the Spanish giants but I don’t really see that now for Virgil and Mo – who will be desperate to break as many records as he can.”

Alexander-Arnold attracting interest from one of those Spanish giants, there are growing concerns that he may have already decided to leave for Real Madrid. Carragher acknowledges that this situation could raise some apprehension among Liverpool fans.
“Trent is in a different situation, so that’s the one most people will be worried about with the interest from Real Madrid and the fact that Dani Carvajal has done his ACL,”
