Liverpool last week were reported to be considering contract renewals for two major stars.
Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch both joined the club back in 2023 as part of Jurgen Klopp’s midfield revolution. They signed five-year deals - due to expire in 2028 - and the pair have grown in importance over the course of the last 12 months.
Integral to the Premier League title win in the 2024/25 season under Arne Slot, Szoboszlai and Gravenberch are now among the first names on the teamsheet.
And their growing prominence at the club is bound to be reflected in their next contracts - which are expected to take them into the band of the Reds’ top earners.
Gravenberch in demand
But in the meantime Liverpool could be vulnerable to rival offers from elsewhere. Szoboszlai for example is a target for Real Madrid AND Manchester City.
Madrid have reportedly had their eyes on Gravenberch for quite a while - but Clasico rivals Barcelona are also now emerging onto the scene. Let’s clear it up straight away.
Barcelona’s finances right now would not permit a big bid - plus wages for Gravenberch.
