Liverpool’s treatment of Muhammad Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold is criminal, says Paul Merson | Football news

In his last column, Sky Sports’ Paul Merson believes Liverpool’s treatment of Trent Alexander -arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Muhammad Salah are “criminal” – because all three are on the course to leave for free.

The future of Alexandra-Arnold was the main topic of last week, and the interviews were progressing between England International and Real Madrid before free transfer.

With Van Dijk and Salah, they have undertaken to new conditions, read the thoughts of the magical man below …

“I would buy van dijk and salah over anyone”

I’ve been saying it for the last eight or nine months – I haven’t seen any of the signature of Trent Alexander -arnold, Muhammad Salah and Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool.

Because I just don’t know why you wouldn’t sign anymore. Why would you continue to lose £ 80,000 a week, every week in the last 18 months?

I would be quite shocked if all three of them stayed from here. If Liverpool is not ready to give them 30 million pounds, 40 million GBP on their bank account.

If Liverpool wants to continue success and go again next year, Van Dijk and Salah must keep Salah, provided Alexander-Arnold has left.

I think van dijk and salah are the best business in their positions. If I could buy someone, I would buy them two.

If you lose van dijk and Alexander-Arnold, you lost half of the back four. And if you lose salah, you lose the season 30 to 40 goals. Good luck is to find anywhere else.

When you get so many talents and are so good, you should never have less than two years, or two and a half years on your contract before they sit down and say, “We want to go again”.

And the only time when their contracts should run out is when they are 33, 34, when no one wants them.

In terms of football he is a criminal. It is a criminal that you can leave three of the best players in the football world to have their contracts and could go to absolutely nothing, go wherever they want.

“TRENT goes to the club just above Liverpool”

I consider a surprising stir of Alexander-Arnold. He went through the rows, won everything, nothing, and nothing.

Other people were purchased for £ 70 million and go for free transfers. No one says a word.

At the end of the day, Liverpool had two or three years to resolve this contract. And try to solve it with six months, it is absolutely impossible.

So I don’t know how Liverpool let it go down. And I don’t know too many players who turn Real Madrid down if they exist.

It goes because it’s Real Madrid. He doesn’t drop and goes to money. Probably just a little over Liverpool.

Must win for Chelsea – but Spurs have Frankfurt in their minds

Tottenham is an unchanged game for Chelsea.

Tottenham at home, Brentford away and ipswich at home. If they can get seven points from their next three games, they will be in the first five with six games. It’s in their hands.

Chelsea needs Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson back at best. But I am not very upset about Noni Madieke. I’m not his biggest fan in the world. But you must have Jackson and Palmer shooting on all rollers.

Meanwhile, Spurs got bigger fish to fry, Chelsea is not their biggest game. Frankfurt is huge for them.

It’s all on the European League. If they won their last nine games of the season and were defeated by Frankfurt, it is a waste of time.

I don’t know what teams Ange Postecogle will play from this game. I know what I would do. I would rest all or wrap them or play them only for certain parts of the game.

Tottenham fans will not want their team to go to Stamford Bridge and lie. They would rather be defeated from Southampton than Chelsea, believe me.
