Liverpool’s rousing start to the season has failed to quell the fears around the potential upheaval the squad could face in the summer transfer window next year.
Everything is rosy on the pitch for Liverpool who are sitting at the top of the Premier League table after winning five of their opening six league games.
They are also well-placed to reach the knockout rounds of the Champions League after winning their first two games against AC Milan and Bologna respectively.
However, a dark cloud hanging over the club due to the contract situations of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The three key players will be out of contract next summer and could leave on a free transfer, something the club are desperate to avoid.
Jamie Carragher is worried about losing Alexander-Arnold due to him being at the peak of his powers but Liverpool have been asked to do everything to make sure they hold on to Salah.
The Egyptian attacker has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia next summer and the Reds are said to have identified as successor to him.
Jason Cundy finds it bizarre that Liverpool have allowed the situation around Salah’s contract to fester for this long
There has been little movement in the negotiations over a new deal for Salah despite suggestions that Liverpool want to hold on to him.
Cundy pointed out that as things stand the attacker will be free to hold talks over a pre-contract with clubs outside England from Janaury onwards.
He accused Liverpool of stalling the talks and indicated that they would not have allowed the situation to reach this stage if they wanted to hold on to the player.
“It’s a tricky one because I can’t believe we are having this conversation”, Cundy said on talkSPORT.
“And Liverpool fans can’t believe it has got to this stage where we are in October and he will be free to talk to another club outside England on 1st Janaury.
“The club are stalling.
“You do not let a player that you want to keep get into the last three months of his contract where he can talk to someone else.
“That I am finding utterly bizarre.”
