Paul Merson has advised Liverpool to make sure they keep Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk for next season.
Arne Slot is going to be the manager to take over from Jurgen Klopp and Merson believes it would be a huge task to replace them.
"I think Mohamed Salah goes to Saudi this summer and Arne Slot will have a huge task on his hands to replace the Egyptian’s goals if he ends up leaving," Merson told Sportskeeda.
"A lot of coaches and backroom staff from the Jurgen Klopp era will also be on their way out, so the Dutchman has his work cut out for him.
"They have to keep Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker, though, as these players form the spine of their backline."
Van Dijk and Salah enter the final year of their contracts next season and have been linked with moves away, Salah more than Van Dijk.
