Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract negotiations with Liverpool are anticipated to start as the season comes to an end.
Jurgen Klopp’s team is expected to undergo a facelift this summer as four senior players have now announced that they would be leaving when their contracts expire.
Midfielder Arthur’s loan agreement will expire along with that of Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and a decision will be made over Adrian’s future.
Brentford, Brighton, and Tottenham are all showing interest in Caoimhin Kelleher, while Klopp has suggested Fabio Carvalho might go on loan.
There will undoubtedly be new additions, but negotiations over a number of contract renewals for those whose deals expire in the upcoming years are also anticipated.
The most notable of these is Alexander-Arnold, who last renewed his contract in 2021 and will only have two years left when the current campaign ends.
This summer, when both Joel Matip and Thiago’s contracts will have just one year remaining, crucial choices must be made.
It is uncertain whether Matip and Thiago will be retained after 2024 as Matip will age 32 in August and Thiago recently celebrated his own 32nd birthday.
When Jota signed a new contract in August with the news that his pay had increased significantly, he still had three years left on his initial agreement.
As of this summer, the contracts for Jordan Henderson, 32, Virgil van Dijk, 31, and Mohamed Salah, 30, will all have two years remaining on them.
Given their advanced age, it is more likely that they receive the same treatment as Firmino, Milner, Matip, and Thiago, with any extension requests being decided upon in their last year.
Salah signed a new three-year contract in July of last year, making him the club’s highest-paid player ever.
