In response to questions regarding the contracts of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas provided an answer that has raised concerns among some Liverpool supporters.
As fans are aware, the contracts of Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, and Salah are set to expire at the end of the season.
Updates on the status of negotiations have been scarce, prompting supporters to closely scrutinise every comment made by the squad about these key players, who have collectively made 966 appearances for the Reds.
Kostas Tsimikas is the latest player to address the situation, speaking to Sky Sports: “They will enjoy it if they stay or if they go, so I think that’s the only thing [that] matters.
“It is up to them what they will do. For sure, the guys who leave, we will miss them a lot because all of them, they are many years here.
“So, yeah. They know what they want from the future but their thinking is always, you know, to enjoy every moment here.
“I think for everybody, [it] is the most important to enjoy and you don’t know what the future will bring.”
While Salah, Van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold have kept their intentions fairly private, they’ve each addressed the topic when prompted.
Currently, Van Dijk appears the most likely to stay, as he recently stated: “I can say obviously discussions are ongoing, but I don’t know, we will see what happens in the future.
“My full focus is on Liverpool, wanting to win games that are ahead of me and nothing else.
“What the future will bring I have no idea at the moment.
“I can only tell you that discussions have been started up and we will see.”
