Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has suggested a few top Reds players could face uncertain futures now Jurgen Klopp is leaving.
The German coach has dropped his bombshell news this morning and will leave Liverpool in the summer.
Klopp will depart after nine years and leave a huge legacy that will be difficult to follow.
And while all the talk might be around who Liverpool will replace Klopp with, there’s also eyes on the players he’s leaving behind as well.
And speaking on Sky Sports about the situation, former Reds left-back Stephen Warnock suggested the likes of Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are both facing uncertain futures.

Speaking about Klopp’s departure on Sky, Warnock has suggested that some top Liverpool players will now be wondering what the future holds.
“Trying to take myself into the position of the players now and thinking ‘what do they think?’. The one player straight away who springs to mind is Mohammed Salah. What is the future for Mohammed Salah? Because what Jurgen Klopp has done for his career and the way he’s backed him and played a system to suit him, transformed his career, has been astounding. And I think Klopp was probably a lot to do with him signing that new contract. I think there’s also other players with interesting situations and people will probably laugh at me when I say this, but Trent Alexander-Arnold, because of that hybrid position that he plays. Will a new manager see him as a right-back, centre-mid? Where does that leave him? Doesn’t leave him in limbo but there’s going to be plenty of questions asked,” Warnock said.
Salah is set to attract interest from Saudi Arabia once again while Trent would walk into any team in the world and has admirers in Spain.
Of course, Klopp will probably look to convince those players that there is life after him and ensure the club remains on steady ground in that sense.
However, Warnock does make a valid point and with such disruption coming to Anfield with this change, don’t be surprised to see a few players questioning things.
