MOHAMED SALAH'S FUTURE IS A HOT TOPIC AT LIVERPOOL AND THE REDS ARE ALSO BEING LINKED WITH A MOVE FOR A PLAYER WHO HAS EMERGED AS ONE OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL'S TOP TALENTS 18:13, 02


Feb 2025 Liverpool secured another victory on Saturday afternoon, shifting the spotlight back onto potential transfer dealings. Mohamed Salah netted both goals as Arne Slot's squad


navigated a potentially tricky encounter at Bournemouth. The Cherries had their opportunities, including a David Brooks goal that was ruled out for offside, but Slot's men completed the


task to extend their lead at the top to nine points. Post-match, Salah's future was once again a hot topic. The Egyptian's contract expires in the summer, as do those of


team-mates Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, but no decisions have been made yet. Salah isn't the only player under scrutiny as the transfer window nears its conclusion. Here


are the latest updates from Anfield. VAN DIJK SENDS MESSAGE TO SALAH Van Dijk has expressed his appreciation for Salah at Liverpool. The Premier League's top scorer may be out of


contract in the summer, but the captain seemed to urge him to stay and set even more records at Anfield. Article continues below "Let's make it more, let's keep going,"


Van Dijk said following Salah's double at Bournemouth. "He has obviously been amazing for the football club over all those years." "I see the hard work he puts in, but


the numbers speak for itself. It's an outstanding performance, but he is a phenomenal player." REDS EYEING QUENDA Manchester United may seem to have the upper hand in the chase for


Sporting CP's sensation Geovany Quenda, but according to Record, Liverpool are still in with a shout. The young starlet has been making waves in Portugal, leading fans to speculate


about a potential link-up with United's manager Ruben Amorim. Despite early whispers that Quenda was all set for a switch to the Red Devils, it's becoming clear that nothing is set


in stone. It turns out that Liverpool, along with Manchester City and United, have engaged in "informal talks" regarding the young talent, reports the Mirror. Still only 17 as of


April, Quenda has been turning heads at Sporting this season at right wing and right wing back. His performances even earned him a senior call-up to the Portuguese national team during the


fall for the UEFA Nations League games. However, he remained an unused substitute. 'AGENT SZOBOSZLAI' The buzz among Liverpool supporters grew further when Dominik Szoboszlai


posted a picture with Milos Kerkez after a recent match. As Bournemouth's promising left-back, Kerkez has caught the eye as a potential future replacement for Andy Robertson at


Liverpool. Skeptics wondered whether Szoboszlai might act as the "agent" to persuade his Hungarian mate to consider a shift to Anfield. With a price tag that won't be meagre,


there's intrigue around the fact that it was Liverpool's own Richard Hughes who orchestrated Kerkez's transfer to Bournemouth earlier in 2023. Article continues below The


21-year-old, who had a standout season with AZ before moving to the Vitality Stadium, has been linked with both United and City. However, it's reported that his preferred destination is


Liverpool.
