Liverpool are in talks to renew the contracts of Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Although the situation differs for each of them, there is no doubt that it would be a huge loss if they all left on free transfers.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, who want to get ahead of the game to avoid a situation like this, are also negotiating a new contract with their next potential defender-leader, French defender Ibrahima Konate, and it is highly likely that his contract will be extended until June 2026.
In addition, the Merseyside club are also looking to extend the contract of Colombian international Luis Diaz, who is under contract until June 2027, Fabrizio Romano, an expert on transfers, revealed on his Youtube channel.
“Let me tell you today that I would not be surprised to see Liverpool, after Ibrahima Konate, who is going to be the next one to extend his contract, negotiating a new deal, also with Luis Diaz.”
“Liverpool want to try to make a new deal happen with Lucho. So let’s see what’s going to happen there.”
“Let’s wait, because now obviously Liverpool have some priorities, Salah, Van Dijk, and obviously Trent Alexander-Arnold, and then we know they want to extend the content of Konate.”
“It will happen, it is a matter of time, but Lucho could be one of the next ones to see what’s going to happen in terms of talks.”
The Colombian winger has become more decisive in front of goal this season and scored a hat-trick in the fourth round of the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen.
He has also had games as a centre-forward and right winger, and at the age of 27, he is enjoying a new phase of development.
Will Liverpool be able to extend the contracts of three key players and renew both Konate and Diaz.
