Fowler expressed his belief that while Salah and Van Dijk are likely to remain at Liverpool, the same may not apply to Alexander-Arnold, who could be seeking a fresh challenge at Real Madrid.
Speaking on ITV prior to the game Fowler said: ‘From a club point of view, to let the likes of these three players go down to the last six months, they’re the questions that people probably want to ask.
‘What will happen will happen. My own personal point of view and it’s certainly not inside information, I just think two of them will stay one of them will go and it’s up to the people at home to come to their own conclusions on that.’
When pressed further on who he thinks will leave, Fowler stated that Alexander-Arnold could depart.
He said: ‘I think it’s fairly obvious, I think obviously Mo will stay and I think Virgil will stay.
‘I love Trent as a player, I think he’s probably one of the best in the world at what he does and of course I’d love him to stay but we’ll see.’
After the game Fowler said: ‘He’s won everything, he wants to maybe try something else. I want him to remain a Liverpool player. He’s a world class player. Who knows what will happen.’
Alexander-Arnold has spent his entire career so far at Liverpool, making 335 appearances for the club.
He has won an array of trophies – the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup and two League Cups.
