Liverpool will face a nightmare scenario when the dates of their Champions League matches are announced in the league stage.
According to the British Liverpool Echo network, the draw resulted in 8 opponents for Liverpool, led by Real Madrid, which may threaten Liverpool with a nightmare scenario.
The British network indicated that the clubs are scheduled to play the last two rounds of the group stage in the last two weeks of next January, which may put Liverpool in trouble.
The British network said that this predicament comes due to the ambiguity surrounding the future of the Liverpool trio Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, as their current contracts will expire in June 2025.
The British network continued that the trio will be available to enter into negotiations and sign preliminary contracts with any new club starting next January.
The British network added that the problem lies with Arnold specifically, with his recent association with Real Madrid, as various press reports claimed that the royal club has a desire to include the English star.
The British network explained that if the date of the Liverpool and Real Madrid match is set for the latter part of next January, the Royal Club will be free to enter into negotiations with Arnold regarding a possible transfer to the Royal Club.
The British network confirmed that Arnold can reach an agreement with Real Madrid regarding this deal when the two teams meet in the Champions League early in the new year.
The British network added that the potential confrontation between the two teams this month will open the door to negotiations between the management of the two clubs, as Real Madrid will be present in England to play the match at Anfield Stadium.
