Liverpool has yet to allow a goal this season and Mohamed Salah has scored in each of the three games — all victories. If this is what contract distractions look like at Anfield, new manager Arne Slot is fine with it.

“Is it a distraction? No, it isn’t because I’m fully focused on the individuals and the team. They are part of the team and I’m trying to work with them in the best possible way to get the best out of them. “It’s not a distraction for me at all.”

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has opened up about the contract situations of a world class trio who's contracts run out next summer.
