Central Midfielder - Jordan Henderson
Jordan Henderson is Liverpool’s longest-serving player from the current crop. The Englishman joined Liverpool in 2010, and has captained the side since 2015. His contributions often go under the radar due to Liverpool’s prolific wingers and flying full-backs.
The 31-year-old is also the oldest Reds player who regularly features in the Premier League. His leadership and industry are evident whenever he plays for club or country. His ability to track back allows Alexander-Arnold to bomb down the wing at will.
Right Winger - Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah is arguably the best player in the world right now. With his contract ending in 18 months, Liverpool are trying their best to come to an agreement with the Egyptian winger. The Premier League club will hope Salah can maintain his numbers for the next few seasons.
Salah is having one of the best seasons of his career. The right winger has scored 16 goals and recorded nine assists. Unlike his African compatriot Sadio Mane, Salah is more likely to get a new deal, as the Premier League giants would like to cash out on at least one of their current front three.
Centre-Forward - Paulo Dybala
Paulo Dybala’s future at Juventus is looking increasingly uncertain. The Argentine forward has just months left on his current contract, and Liverpool are one of the teams keeping a close eye on the 28-year-old.
The Reds might have to offload Roberto Firmino to bring in Dybala. Signing the Argentine on a free transfer and selling Firmino at his market value would be a sensible piece of business by Jurgen Klopp. Dybala could start over Jota if the deal goes through.
Left Winger - Luis Diaz
Luis Diaz has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool. The Porto winger is keen on a move, and the Merseyside club have listed him as their priority. The deal could be completed in the next few days, with Diaz being seen as a long-term replacement for Sadio Mane.
It is no secret that the contracts of Mane, Firmino and Salah are expiring next year. Liverpool would want to cash in on at least one of their three forwards. If Diaz is signed, the Senegalese could have his place in the team under threat.
