Gary Neville believes Liverpool could suffer a “huge” £250 million setback if Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, and Salah all leave on free transfers this summer as their contracts run down.
Speaking about the potential departures, Neville emphasized the financial and tactical burden it would place on new boss Arne Slot. He highlighted the trio’s world-class quality and warned that even Liverpool’s renowned recruitment team would struggle to replace them simultaneously.
