That means one Europa League season. However, this is one of the many pieces of silverware that Liverpool are still looking for. 2024 could be rich. Here’s what’s in store for a great new year for the Reds. Mohamed Salah has signed a new contract.We have already made our Christmas wishes. But the reality of the ‘long-term’ contract Salah eventually signed in the summer of 2022 – adding two years to his existing tenure – was always going to be a ‘forward’ move.
FSG do not expect Salah to show signs of decline just yet. By destroying the wage structure, the country showed confidence that the Egyptians could remain at the top for a long time. But Liverpool thought the contract issue would be easier this time. Instead, Salah remains one of Liverpool’s most important players, scoring in almost every game this season. Add to that Saudi Arabia’s transfer interests and the looming complexity of his future, and it’s likely we’ll have to talk again in 2024. There is a brief temptation to cash in, but this is quickly quashed by the realization that no one can adequately replace what Salah has done for this Liverpool team. It is a pillar of trust in both accessibility and purpose. For a player who turns 32 this summer, all the money in the world won’t be enough to prevent his move undermining Klopp’s side.Therefore, another new agreement must be reached in 2024. It’s a little late to ask someone out before Christmas, but it would be a great way to start the new year.Transfer service from January Liverpool have made a habit of looking for value in the January transfer market. There’s an old saying about it being a bad time to go shopping, and Klopp has signed Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz in the last two winters.This is strange because Klopp seems to believe that the January transfer window will be more difficult.
He used this as a reason why Liverpool should not pursue defenders.”Unless other clubs put it under the tree for us and say, ‘Take it and use it for as long as you need’…” he said via Anfield. “They all need money, they have to be the right players. Up, Up, Up Please tell me which club you want to sell a centre-back for.Clubs will not be able to afford to trade for an elite player in the middle of the season. Otherwise, you will be asking for a much higher price. But Liverpool continued to defy that logic. You must try again. Klopp may say he would be better off with four centre-backs, including youngster Jarel Kwanza, which clearly puts too much pressure on an injury-prone squad.
With Liverpool needing a long-term successor to the injured Joel Matip and even Virgil van Dijk as they try to retain the title, a move to sell in January would be a smart start to 2024. Jurgen Klopp kept his promiseIt’s not the first time things have looked rosy for Liverpool. It was hard to predict what would happen on Christmas 2019.Three months later, the pandemic began and Liverpool were one win away from securing their first Premier League title. Klopp’s side survived fears of being knocked out of the competition entirely, but eventually won the trophy in disastrous and unsanitary conditions. Then Klopp made a promise. He promised that a real celebration would take place in Liverpool as soon as possible.“We are committed to celebrating the celebration we all deserve when the time is right. This is our first opportunity to do what we all deserve.
It’s time for everyone to reflect. Liverpool is no different. Jurgen Klopp can look back on half a year. Although they still have one away game against Burnley before the end of 2023, Liverpool can look back on a very productive start to this Christmas season which has put them in contention for the title. But from January to June, things got a lot darker. There was a late rally as Liverpool threatened to repeat Champions League football in 2020/21, but the best efforts from Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold came before the right-back moved to a new position. Klopp’s ‘2.0’ was a key part of the game. It was enough to maintain 5th place.
