On receiving the devastating news about Luke Shaw and Bruno Fernandez, Manchester United Fans were left in a state of shock. 💔 😭 This would be extremely terrible!
There’s speculation swirling around the potential return of Michael Edwards to Liverpool, a move that could have implications for several key players in Jurgen Klopp’s squad. If this reunion materializes, it may signal changes in contract negotiations, particularly for senior players like Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Andy Robertson, whose contracts are approaching expiration dates.
In previous dealings, disagreements between Edwards and Klopp over contract terms for aging players were notable. With Edwards potentially assuming a more influential role, he could have a significant say in future contract discussions, possibly affecting the likelihood of long-term extensions with hefty salaries for players over 30.
Despite Salah and Van Dijk being among the club’s highest earners, it would be precarious to allow their contracts to lapse or entertain selling them outright, given their indispensable contributions on the field. A potential compromise might involve retaining them at Anfield while being mindful of their diminishing market value over time.
While Robertson, being slightly younger and earning less, could still be in line for a contract extension, its likelihood may hinge on how Edwards evaluates his long-term importance to Liverpool’s success. The ultimate goal is to find a solution that allows all three players to remain with the club while aligning with the desired wage structure set by the club’s decision-makers.
