Liverpool supporters are still eager for the continuing sagas involving the futures of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah to be addressed.
Although Liverpool's season has started on a positive note under Arne Slot, there is still uncertainty around the fates of the three players, which casts a shadow over Anfield.
The trio are arguably the three names that spring to mind when you think of Liverpool's successes under the legendary Jurgen Klopp, and they are all still of utmost significance to the Anfield side.

Van Dijk and Salah have both addressed the media about their futures in recent weeks while Alexander-Arnold has remained tight-lipped despite dropping a huge hint on his situation in the aftermath of Liverpool's 3-1 win over AC Milan.
Alexander-Arnold's likely destination if he is to depart Anfield would be European Champions Real Madrid while Salah and Van Dijk have attracted interest from Saudi Arabia in recent seasons.
Liverpool fans' apprehension turned into sudden excitement when the club released two videos on Thursday of the squad arriving at the AXA training centre, as the Reds' attention turns to welcoming Bournemouth to Anfield on Saturday.
The videos appeared to show Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk in Liverpool's home kit whilst other players greeted the camera in training kit or their own attires upon arrival.
Fans were quick to spot the pair unusually sporting the home kit around the training ground and excitement regarding potential contract extensions was evident on social media.
One fan commented: "Why is Virgil the only one wearing the home kit? Could he be doing a photoshoot? 👀"
Another Liverpool fan added: "Everyone else walking around in training gear, meanwhile Trent and VVD..."
The common theme was that Liverpool supporters were speculating that the club were teasing potential contract extension announcements, despite Salah on the other hand being nowhere to be seen on Thursday morning's footage.

AN UNFORTUNATE FALSE ALARM
The optimism and intrigue amongst the Liverpool faithful was imminently dimmed within hours as they came to terms with why two of their stars in their final twelve months on their current contracts were spotted in a full Liverpool kit.
The club followed their morning video with a clip of all players walking out in the home kit, ready to pose for an annual team photo.
Though their questions had been answered, optimism remains amongst fans, with them suggesting it is still a potential tease of what's to come regarding at least two of their biggest names.
