The Liverpool trio are all out of contract next summer.
David Ornstein has dropped a major update on the futures of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool.
Salah's contract at Anfield expires in June 2025, with Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold also heading into the final six months of their deals.
While Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold have given little indication as to the progress of their individual negotiations, Salah shocked everyone when he claimed that he was 'more out than in' following Liverpool's 3-2 win over Southampton last month.
The Egyptian also claimed he hadn't yet received an offer from Liverpool, and refused to rule out the 2-0 win over Manchester City last weekend being his final home fixture against the reigning Premier League champions.
But Ornstein has revealed a significant new update to proceedings - and it could change everything.
He reports that, according to anonymous sources familiar with the process, Liverpool have now submitted their first contract offer to the Egyptian forward, having already done so for Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold.
It is added that there is a 'growing belief' at the club that all three players will stay, although no agreement has been reached and there is no indication that Salah will accept the offer.
A sticking point between both parties in Salah's case, it is claimed, is in regards to the length and value of the contract. The forward turns 33 in June.
Van Dijk is in a similar position in terms of age - he turns 34 in July - while the Alexander-Arnold situation is different as he is 26 and is appearing to be attracting heavy interest from Real Madrid.
