Arne Slot believes keeping his Liverpool team together would mark a "big summer" for the club as he insisted Trent Alexander-Arnold's future is still "not done".
The Reds have secured captain Virgil van Dijk and leading scorer Mohamed Salah on new two-year deals, but there is uncertainty around the future of right-back Alexander Arnold because his contract expires in the summer.
"It's already a big summer now," said Slot. "It was a big thing - 'can we hold on to them?'.
"And by holding on already to two, it's already a big summer and let's see what the rest of the summer will bring.
"It would be strange for me to say now I'm not happy with the team we have, because I've said it for a year so we are happy with the team we have. Maybe if we can even keep that team that would already be a big summer."
Asked about Alexander-Arnold's situation, head coach Slot said: "Let's see what the future brings."
The England defender is wanted by Real Madrid, who have endured a troubling week.
Knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage by Arsenal, the future of Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is in question and Spanish football expert Guillem Balague says the Bernabeu side are "in need of refreshing".
