Liverpool Contract Talks: Trent, 5 Others

As the season draws to a close, Liverpool are expected to begin contract talks with a number of players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold. Four senior players have already been confirmed to be leaving on the expiry of their deals, and a decision is set to be made on Adrian’s future. Caoimhin Kelleher is attracting interest from Brentford, Brighton and Tottenham, while Klopp has suggested Fabio Carvalho could leave on loan. Talks are also expected over a host of contract extensions for those whose deals are up in the coming years. Chief among those is Alexander-Arnold, who last signed a new contract in 2021 and will have just two years remaining at the end of the campaign. It is almost always the case that Liverpool will offer a new deal for players who have two years remaining on their existing terms. Kostas Tsimikas and Nat Phillips are also contracted to 2025 and could be set for talks this summer, although Phillips is slated for a move away from Anfield. Joel Matip and Thiago will have just one year left on their terms this summer, and big decisions will need to be made. Ibrahima Konate, who still has three years left on his deal, could be offered an improved contract this summer. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Jordan Henderson will have two years left on their deals as of this summer, but decisions over any extension will likely be made when they are into their final year.
