Former Liverpool captain Gary McAllister can see Mohamed Salah staying.

It's been suggested manager Jurgen Klopp's end of season departure could see Salah and Virgil van Dijk follow.

But McAllister told Betway: "This has obviously been brought to the fore because of the announcement [Klopp's exit].

"Clubs always like to get their business done early. Both players don't have long left of their current deals and you don't know how this season is going to pan out. It could be unbelievable.

"But why would you want to leave? The opportunities are there because it looks as if Liverpool will get a Champions League spot for next season, and I think that might influence decisions as well.

"One further consideration is where do you go after Liverpool? There's not many clubs that can give you more than what Liverpool can.

"You also need to look at what Jurgen [Klopp] is leaving at Liverpool. I think he has changed the front three well since Liverpool won the title and [Darwin] Nunez, [Diogo] Jota, [Cody] Gakpo and [Luis] Diaz are good players for the future for Liverpool.

"Trent [Alexander-Arnold] has been rotated between full-back and midfield which gives Liverpool options for the future. A new head coach coming in will not have to massively tinker with the squad, just add their way of playing and adding a few fresh faces, but the basis is there for Liverpool to continue to challenge for trophies."
