No repeat of the Virgil van Dijk situation! Liverpool hoping to tie Ibrahima Konate & Jarrell Quansah down to new contracts

Premier League

Liverpool

<p>Three Liverpool stars, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/virgil-van-dijk-yet-to-receive-new-liverpool-contract-offer-honest-update-future-brentford/bltaae61983bc37f8ca" target="_blank">Virgil van Dijk</a>, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, are out of contract at the end of the current season and the players are yet to agree to put pen to paper on a new deal. The contract situation of the Reds stars has been a major headache for new manager Arne Slot. To avoid such a situation in the future, the Merseyside club are planning to offer new deals to Konate and Quansah, according to <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/article/5b458083-87c6-4cb5-a047-34e1eb9b1716" target="_blank">The Times</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Twenty-one-year-old Quansah made his senior debut for Liverpool in 2021 after graduating from their academy. While the youngster still has three years left in his existing contract, the club are already planning to extend it as they consider it to be a reward for his consistency on the pitch. Konate, on the other hand, has two years left in his contract. After a disappointing outing in the 2023-24 campaign, the French defender has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-ac-milan-virgil-van-dijk-ibrahima-konate/blt2fd72bf608079d4c" target="_blank">significantly improved</a> under Slot's tutelage having scored twice. The Premier League giants have initiated preliminary talks to tie him down to a new long-term deal.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Alexander-Arnold's future at Anfield has also come under scrutiny as the right-back has attracted <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-dani-carvajal-injury-real-madrid-advance-trent-alexander-arnold-interest/blt3fc56573a469a6e5" target="_blank">interest from Real Madrid</a>. The England international will be free to negotiate with clubs abroad if he fails to agree to a new deal before January.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Along with securing Konate and Quansah's services, the Merseyside giants will also hope that ace defender Van Dijk agrees on a new deal soon. The Dutchman had earlier claimed that he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/virgil-van-dijk-yet-to-receive-new-liverpool-contract-offer-honest-update-future-brentford/bltaae61983bc37f8ca" target="_blank">still waiting for a new contract offer</a> from the club.</p>
