For Jurgen Klopp, this might be a huge boost.
According to a recent update, Liverpool have apparently made progress toward securing a better contract for a key Reds player.
Which Liverpool players might agree to new contracts?
The Reds are in excellent shape right now thanks to a strong start to the current season after a dismal 2022–23 campaign. In their first five Premier League games, they had four victories, a tie, and a 3-1 victory away to LASK in the Europa League on Thursday night.
While the majority of the new acquisitions have made an immediate impact since joining the team, it is also crucial to keep some of the most significant players on the team. Unquestionably, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah are two of them. The former is desired by the Saudi Pro League team Al-Ittihad, who had a £150 million proposal for him rejected by Liverpool. Similar to his Egyptian counterpart, the latter’s contract expires in 2025, therefore time is slowly running out on his agreement.
A significant development regarding his future has now come to light as the Reds want to extend their contract with one of their top players and potential captain for the foreseeable future.
What recent Liverpool contract news is there?
Football Insider reports that there has been a breakthrough in negotiations between Liverpool and Alexander-Arnold over him extending his stay at Anfield.
According to sources cited by Football Insider, Liverpool and Trent Alexander-Arnold have struck an agreement in principle over a new deal. The Merseysiders want to put a stop to any rumors about the 24-year-old’s future because he has just under two years left on his current contract.
Top teams in England and Europe would love to lure the full-back away from Anfield, but according to a reliable source, he is dedicated to Liverpool and has no intention of leaving. All sides are reportedly eager to work together to extend his contract.
This is huge news for Liverpool since Alexander-Arnold personifies the team. He grew up a Reds fan and progressed through the junior team, developing into a star along the way.
The Englishman, who is still only 24 years old, is hoped to have at least a decade left at the club and become as illustrious as his childhood idol, Steven Gerrard. He is undoubtedly content with his current situation, particularly with Jurgen Klopp turning things around after a disappointing season, and he appears to be having fun in his new hybrid role.
The fact that Dani Alves, a former right-back for Barcelona and Brazil, described Alexander-Arnold as “world-class” speaks volumes about his skill as a player. Journalist Neil Jones also called him a “genius” due to his degree of skill with the ball.
Salah may not be around forever, especially at the age of 31, but Liverpool have someone in Alexander-Arnold who might eventually succeed Virgil van Dijk as captain permanently and emerge as one of the best players in the history of the team.
