He Liverpool, the Manchester City and Tottenham Their situation is different now Premier League but they share a situation that other teams don’t really envy. Too many networks as blue sky and motivated They encountered a problem that from January 1 It will be more complicated and the three clubs already have players the contract ends in 2025 and when the new year begins, the footballers are completely free to sign a pre-contract with any club in the world outside the Premier League.
In the middle of Boxing Day in the Premier League, three of the clubs are considered within the Big Six They have key players in their squads whose contracts expire next summer and in just a week they could lose them ‘forever’ if they don’t rush to formalize a deal on renewal.
Liverpool
He Liverpool have famous cases of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Salah (32 years old) and Van Dijk (33 years old) are of particular age and the red club in recent years has been reluctant to extend high-paying contracts when players have outlived their thirties. In any case, they seem like special cases because of their importance to the club, and despite the fact that a month ago wrong It seems “more outside than inside” with no offer, the truth is now that there is one and it is rumored that they can come to an agreement in 2 or 3 more years.
In the case of Van DijkAfter the Reds’ Champions League match with Girona he said he had “no news” but recently speaking to Amazon he said: “I love the club, the club loves me. I love the fans, the fans love me and this is a very good basis to be successful. In my opinion, I can play another three or four years even in top level. We will see what the future holds for us.“. It seems a matter of time before the two players reach an agreement with the red club.
Alexander-Arnold (26 years old) is the case that raised the most controversy. English, strongly associated with real Madrid In recent months, he has matured enough to take on another adventure at the highest level and at the Bernabéu they know it. The edge may come free although Liverpool are clear they want to keep their second captain. Trent recently spoke to Sky Sports saying he wants to “leave a legacy”where Arne Slott In a press conference he explained that “I like that a player likes”. The Athletic published a week ago that Alexander-Arnold showed a steadfast loyalty to Liverpool and they are working hard to maintain it, but so far there is no progress. The club does not want to lose such a key figure but will have to do what is necessary to satisfy his wishes. Both Trent, Salah and Van Dijk, if they wish, can talk to another club formally from January 1, although it is expected that they will first want to find a solution to their Liverpool contract with negotiations already taking place in within a few months. .
City of Manchester
If there is one player who has been key to the successes of Pep Guardiola that is Kevin de Bruyne (33 years old). In August 2023, he suffered a thigh injury that caused him to miss 35 games for his club and country. The Belgian returned to guide the City of Manchester to another league but since then it has been losing popularity. In September of 2024, he suffered a flexor muscle injury in his leg that kept him out until October 31 and he saw up close the recent decline of a city of man that accumulated a terrible streak in their last 12 games: 9 losses, 3 draws and 1 win.
De Bruyne explained in November: “When the season started there were talks, but I had that problem (the groin injury in September) and they were put aside. I’m not too obsessed with the topic, and I can’t say anything more. I’m fine. , I I’m happy here and I’m just “I want to play football. There will be conversations and if not it will be my last year.”. The Belgian midfielder already opened the door to Saudi Arabia last summer and seeing the current situation, it would not be unreasonable that this is one of his destinations to consider for next season.
Tottenham Hotspur
Sounds like a lie though Heung-min’s son (32 years old) will be a player who is free to negotiate from January 1, 2025 if the Tottenham there is no cure. One of the best football players of the last 10 years in the Premier League (he arrived in 2015) is not very clear about his future for the first time in many years. The London club, as explained Fabrizio Romano in November, there are plans to activate a clause in the South Korean contract to continue at least until 2026. However, the truth is that until now Son’s continuation at Tottenham has not been officially announced.
