Senior Liverpool players need to prove themselves for new contracts, says Slot

Ahead of Sunday's Premier League home game against Brentford, new manager Arne Slot emphasized the importance of senior Liverpool players who are in the final year of their contracts performing well if they want to secure future deals at Anfield.

Captain Virgil van Dijk, forward Mohamed Salah, and England international Trent Alexander-Arnold are on deals which expire at the end of the season.

"The only thing I have to do - this is what I do with all of them - is to bring the best out of them," Slot said in an interview with .

"If we bring the best out of them, and they perform really well, then it’s up to them if they want to sign, it’s up to us (the club) if we give them a new contract.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who has two years remaining on his contract, told British media on Saturday he turned down a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia in the close-season.
