Liverpool are no closer to sorting out the futures of three of their biggest stars.
The Reds have been excellent on the pitch so far this season, with Arne Slot seemingly picking up where Jurgen Klopp left off with the Reds.
But while things have been ticking along nicely in terms of results, Liverpool supporters are growing nervous over the prospect of exits for Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
All three are out of contract at Anfield next summer and as of yet there has been no movement at all on new deals for any of the trio.
None will be short of interest should they be up for grabs at the end of the season.
Alexander-Arnold is attracting interest from Real Madrid, while Salah and Van Dijk have been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia.
The veteran pair have been in terrific form this season, though, showing signs that they can play at much higher level for a little while yet.
Now, journalist Graeme Bailey has weighed in on whether Salah in particular could look to prolong his career in Europe away from Liverpool.

Salah has five goals in eight games for Liverpool already this season.
Liverpool will find it incredibly difficult to replace a player as prolific as Salah.

If they do let him walk out of the Anfield exit door, though, if it is towards a move to Saudi Arabia, it will perhaps hurt a little less.
Players like Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have regressed noticeably since moving to the Middle East and have ultimately proven that it was the right time to let them go.
The same may happen to Salah.
However, there have been claims that Salah does not want to end up like Mane and is convinced that he can still make a difference for a top European side.

But speaking exclusively to Rousing The Kop, transfer expert Bailey claims that it is unlikely that the 32-year-old would move anywhere other than Saudi Arabia if his time at Liverpool does come to an end next summer.
“The big Spanish clubs are not necessarily trailing him now,” says the reporter.
If he did ultimately end up staying and succeeding in Europe, Liverpool supporters will be sick.
