The Reds have enjoyed a strong start to the season so far under Arne Slot, winning six of their opening seven games to head into the second international break of the campaign at the top of the table.

However, despite such positive performances, there remain several contract situations that need to be resolved at Anfield that are preventing the many from truly focusing on on-pitch matters.

However, despite the three significant situations, the Reds appear to be working on other deals at present.

According to The Athletic, Jarrell Quansah is set to pen a new long-term contract on Merseyside to reward his impressive rise through the ranks over the past 12 months. Newcastle made an approach to sign the 21-year-old over the summer but their pursuit was quickly rebuffed, with the Reds more willing to entertain an offer for Joe Gomez instead.

Konate has enjoyed a sensational start to the season, though it remains to be seen whether he will be joined by a different new centre-back partner with Van Dijk yet to indicate whether he is willing to extend his contract at the club.

The trio will be able to sign a pre-contract with an overseas club from January in what will be a major worry for the Reds given that all three players have countless suitors elsewhere. Real Madrid have shortlisted Alexander-Arnold as their top target in right-back, with Salah being linked with several Saudi Pro League outfits and Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.
