Alan Shearer has raised concerns about the potential challenges Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold may face in adjusting to life after Jurgen Klopp’s exit.

The Reds’ squad is bracing for a managerial transition as Klopp is set to conclude his tenure at the end of the current season after eight and a half successful years at the helm.

Under Klopp’s leadership, Liverpool have secured numerous accolades including the Premier League title, the Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.

Liverpool reached an agreement with Feyenoord last week over the signing of Arne Slot this summer as Klopp’s replacement.

However, the recent downturn in Liverpool’s form has cast uncertainty over the team’s trajectory.

The Reds have encountered a rough patch, winning only two of their last seven matches, resulting in their elimination from the Europa League by Atalanta and slipping behind Manchester City and Arsenal in the title race.

As Liverpool approach the end of Klopp’s era with just three matches remaining in the season, Shearer has expressed apprehension regarding the futures of Salah, Van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold.

These three players have been integral to Liverpool’s success over the past few seasons.

“Salah, who was courted doggedly by Al Ittihad, the Saudi Arabian club, last summer, is about to enter the final year of his contract,” he wrote for The Athletic.

“The same applies to Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk and all three have been absolutely key, iconic, fantastic players under Klopp.

“I’m not privy to where negotiations stand, but it’s a dangerous position for Liverpool to be in.

“Those players will want to plan?

At this level – the very, very peak – if you’re 0.1 per cent off it, physically or mentally, it’ll make a difference, particularly when you’re going for a title against relentless teams like Manchester City and Arsenal.

What happens next?”
