With three of their biggest names set to be out of contract in the summer, Liverpool could look very different next season.
Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have all yet to put pen-to-paper on new deals, with the vibe from recent reports being that it's more likely all three leave Anfield than stay.
England international Alexander-Arnold is strongly linked to Real Madrid, who feel confident they'll get TAA either in the summer or even for a fee this month. Bayern Munich have also been mentioned.
Salah and Van Dijk, meanwhile have for a couple of weeks been tipped to accept lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League that currently houses stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.
Neymar's employers Al Hilal could reportedly double Salah's Liverpool wages on a two-year deal, with the Dutch centre-back also mentioned in relation to the club albeit not quite as strongly as the Egyptian.
And in a recent interview, Al Hilal head coach Jorge Jesus spoke out on the possibility.

Salah mentioned by name by Jorge Jesus
"Salah or other big names won’t come this winter," Jesus said, per Yahoo!. "But maybe this summer."
Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean a deal wouldn't be announced sooner.
With Salah's deal expiring in the summer, there's a chance an agreement comes in the near future (if it hasn't already, behind closed doors) before public confirmation at a later date of where he'll be playing next season.
The same would apply for VVD — though it remains unclear if he's included when Jesus mentioned "other big names".

Neymar, meanwhile, is expected to be on his way out of the club, with three MLS clubs including Inter Miami linked with the Brazilian.
One big hold-up could be money, as there are claims he is seeking a salary comparable to that of Miami's current star and his former Barcelona and PSG teammate, Lionel Messi.
