When the time comes for Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk to leave Liverpool, they will depart with the well wishes of every supporter.
Two of the most transformational signings in the club's storied history, the goalkeeper and centre-back have won it all at Anfield and continue to be hugely important figures.
But with Alisson and Van Dijk both out of contract at the end of the campaign, there is the possibility that both players follow the likes of fellow legends Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson out of the exit door next summer.
Both addressed their situations after the 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday that lifted Liverpool back into the Premier League's top four.
Alisson said: "Yes, in my mind (I want to say). I’m focused on playing every game but in my mind I’m happy to stay. You know, that depends on a lot of aspects and different situations. But my will is to stay. I’m happy here, my family is happy here.
"I’m still hungry for titles and for delivering good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can. So that’s my thinking on that. My agent is talking with the club."
While captain Van Dijk said: "Let’s see what the season brings. I’ve had an amazing time already so far. If that will be extended, that’s the case.
"If not, then I will go somewhere else. There’s nothing to report at the moment but that doesn’t mean that there’s any stress or anything."
So Alisson has said he wants to stay - and Van Dijk has certainly hinted he does. But what do you think the Reds should do? Let us know by voting in our poll below:
