Fabrizio Romano reveals contract bomb on Liverpool stars

Liverpool are locking down their next generation of stars, with reports suggesting that Ibrahima Konate and Jarell Quansah are close to signing new long-term contracts.

As speculation swirls around the futures of big names like Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk, the Reds are ensuring their defensive foundation remains solid by securing the future of two rising talents.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, discussions with Konate are advancing swiftly. The French defender, who has consistently partnered Van Dijk this season, is seen as a vital part of Liverpool’s future under Arne Slot.

Despite his current contract running until 2026, the club is keen to extend his stay, reflecting the faith they have in him as a cornerstone of their defense. Konate, who joined in 2021, has already made a significant impact, even scoring his first Premier League goal in a 2-1 victory over Wolves last month.

Jarell Quansah, another bright prospect in the Liverpool camp, is also on the verge of agreeing fresh terms with a pay rise.

While the young defender has yet to cement his place in the starting lineup, his talent and potential have earned him a spot in Klopp’s long-term project. Quansah’s strong form during his loan spell at Bristol Rovers and his subsequent inclusion in the provisional England squad for Euro 2024 have only added to his growing reputation.

Romano confirmed the news on social media, stating that both players are happy at the club and eager to commit to new deals.

With Konate’s negotiations progressing and Quansah already accepting the terms, Liverpool are quietly building a defense for the future while keeping one eye on potential departures next summer.

For now, it is all quiet on the future of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Hence, Liverpool are in no way ready to make the same mistakes on contract obligations of their key stars.
