Like Alexander-Arnold, both Salah and Van Dijk are set to expire this summer, so it is a race against time for Liverpool to get them to sign new deals.
However, for now, it looks like things might be on the right track, even if it's not quite imminent yet.
Will Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk stay at Liverpool?
Romano said: “Liverpool also continues to negotiate with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.”
“Liverpool maintains its position – They are confident of achieving this with Salah and Van Dijk, but no progress has been achieved in the talks so far.
“So, there's more work they need to do on those deals.”
Liverpool fans will no doubt be disappointed that things are not going well for Alexander-Arnold, but retaining two other legendary figures, Salah and Van Dijk, would soften the blow considerably.
Salah in particular has arguably been the best player on the planet in the last few months, so it is extremely important for the Merseyside giants not to lose the Egypt international for nothing.
Van Dijk is also the club's captain and shows no signs of slowing down with age, so Liverpool fans will be hoping he extends his stay at Anfield a little longer too.
