Impasse is not good
SIGN ALL OF THEM UP.
Besides the three, I felt Ibou was a low key need to extend too given his current deal ends after 2025-26 (so next season). Glad to see progress there. Would like some clarity and updates with Diaz too.
Now do Virg, Mo, and Trent.
So that confirms we are trying to keep Salah and VVD. There was some scary talk that maybe we were willing to let them both leave or let Salah leave as the club wouldn’t see a deal as worth it financially considering there age. Now I imagine the two parties will ha e a differing view on contract length and neither player will be given a payrise but it confirms at least that we do want to keep them if we can agree the right deal
impasse: a situation in which no progress is possible, especially because of [disagreement](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=7e02005d08292325&rlz=1C1NDCM_enHK938HK938&sxsrf=ADLYWILta2VExcvtDgFQvM6BZ-npeB-8UQ:1728251478480&q=disagreement&si=ACC90nxgkPHmtVkpPj_lUgtQ0AenQ4aMe9pqVkJia-EkEY82ACn6qpmZuKAjUw16qpoEnCWL9j9IMC_7j9-fyzMa6n3pzvVoymWab4aBXSwNK49E8HJHQD8%3D&expnd=1&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwiqgdS73vqIAxV0-wIHHRc7B3UQyecJegQIOBAO); a deadlock.

Pearce is saying:
“Dialogue with the representatives of Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold remains open and ongoing.”
Going to be extremely difficult to renew them tbh.
Mo – 350k P/W
Virg – 220k P/W
Trent – 180k P/W
You can probably bet Trent is going to want a massive bump, especially considering how low his wage is by Madrid standards. They could probably offer him 350k easily, Virg and Mo are difficult for the money side of things, there’s always the chance they want to reduce Mo but I doubt it, Virg might want a small bump to at least be closer to Mo, but for them, both of them it’s probably the length of the deal.
Think Ibou’s contract running down went under the radar for most fans as it was quickly approaching. Happy to hear his and Jarell’s contracts are close to being wrapped up.
Helps strengthen Liverpool’s negotiation stance with TAA, Mo and Virg, by showing they are committed to keeping the best talent at the club. Very important for older elite players to know they’re going to compete at the top throughout their deal.
Arne’s REAL job will start once Mo, TAA and VVD leave.
The real positive in this news is that it confirms we’re working on deals for the big three…
Impasse sounds very negative. Madness we’re even in this position.
If the club does not resign the big three it’s a huge failure regardless of how successful we are under Slot this season
It will come down to money for Trent and length for the other two. I am confident it will get sorted by xmas. The good news is that talks are underway and probably quite far along.
Call me optimistic, but I reckon the contacts are sorted and its stage play.
Trent 5 years -£300k a week
Mo and virg – similar, but performance based, where both get a huge say in any offers that come in
We’re gonna fuck it with the big three’s contracts aren’t we lol
As I said under a different thread: Both Trent and Salah are already gone, Madrid will offer ¥50M to Trent’s brother and 450k/week to Trent and Salah will go to Saudi, it’s as simple as that . The only one I can see renewing is Virgil though
