Jamie Carragher concedes "nothing lasts forever" in Liverpool contract prediction

The summer of 2023 is looming large for Liverpool, with their title-winning front three all out of contract at the end of next season, and former club captain Jamie Carragher has made his predictions for the future of the Reds' forward line.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are all yet to agree new deals with the Merseyside club, with Salah and Mane both currently preparing for a huge Africa Cup of Nations final, while Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will also see their current deals run out in the same summer.

Liverpool's transfer business over the last two seasons suggests they are preparing for the future, with Luis Diaz joining Diogo Jota in the pile marked "attacking signings".

And Carragher, who played more than 700 times for the Reds during a one-club career, has warned his former club that "nothing lasts forever" as Jurgen Klopp's side prepare for some big decisions.

“18 months is a long time, it really is,” Carragher told The ECHO. “I think Mo Salah is the one you want to get sorted first, possibly more so than the others (Mane and Firmino).

“You look at him and Mane now in the Africa Cup of Nations final, two of the best attackers in world football, and the service they’ve given the club. Hopefully we can get a few more years out of them.

Firmino is the only one of the attacking trio to join Liverpool before manager Klopp took over, and the Brazilian's 2015 arrival was followed by Mane moving to Anfield in 2016 and Salah joining 12 months later.

All three have played more than 150 Premier League games for the club, and they all started the 2019 Champions League final as Klopp's side beat Liverpool to lift the trophy.
