One big talking point heading into today’s game has once again been the contract situations of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, with all three players now allowed to talk to clubs about signing a pre-contract agreement ahead of the summer.
And Liverpool fans at Anfield made their thoughts about the situation known.
FSG told by Liverpool fans to wrap up contract sagas
As spotted by the Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele, a new banner in the Kop sent a clear message to Liverpool’s owners to renew Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Van Dijk’s contracts, with the journalist posting: “Banner in Kop reads: “FSG, give Mo & Co their dough” with pics of Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold.”
With Salah’s agent reportedly in attendance at Anfield for today’s game against United, the coming days could be crucial in Liverpool trying to keep the Egyptian international on Merseyside beyond this season, as well as Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk.

However, with Alexander-Arnold’s camp in talks with Real Madrid, time is running out for Liverpool to tie down the England defender to a new contract, with progress seemingly slowing down on Van Dijk’s future as well.
Indeed, Liverpool fans and their banner aimed towards FSG displays what every supporter is currently thinking this January transfer window, and the Reds will want to do all they can to ensure that their three star players sign new deals in the coming weeks.
Liverpool’s owners have been told loud and clear what they need to do
With Liverpool fans already unveiling a banner to FSG in November regarding Salah’s future, a second statement from the Kop is exactly what the owners need to see if they’re to get their affairs in order regarding the trio.
Indeed, Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Van Dijk are all in the primes of their career, with the trio a key reason behind Liverpool’s immense success this season and their non-stop winning runs in the Premier League and Europe.
And tying the three superstars to new contracts is a must for Liverpool’s owners if they’re to build up legit trust with supporters, who are already keen to see the back of them after recent events across the years.
