In order for the Reds to avoid another mistake of this calibre, they should be looking ahead at other members of their squad whose contracts are set to expire in the near future to ensure that the same thing doesn’t happen again.

Perhaps the biggest name on Liverpool’s list of expiring contracts next summer is Ibrahima Konate.

Konate’s contract is set to expire at the end of next season, and while rumours have been ongoing since the start of the campaign, nothing is yet set in stone.

If the Reds allow the Frenchman to run his contract down and leave Anfield on a free transfer next term, there would no doubt be uproar among the fanbase once again.

The right-back’s contract isn’t set to expire until June 2027, but if he has yet another impressive season, there’s no doubt that plenty of suitors will be lining up to secure his services for a cut-rate price.

Hence why Slot and Richard Hughes need to step up renewal talks as soon as possible, otherwise they could be lacking at right-back once again.

Much like Bradley, Alisson is locked down until 2027, but with the performances he put in across the 2024/25 campaign, it’s clear that he’s still one of the best keepers in the world.

Indeed, the Reds do have Giorgi Mamardashvili coming in this summer after purchasing him last season, but it’s unclear whether he has what it takes to dethrone the Brazilian from his number one spot.

With that in mind, alongside the fact that Kelleher’s contract expires at the end of the season, it’s hard to see why the Reds wouldn’t want to keep Alisson around for another season or two.

Last but certainly not least is Luis Diaz.

The attacker has taken plenty of flak this season due to his poor form in the final third for Liverpool at times, but even with this in mind, they would be silly to allow the Colombian to run his contract down.

Diaz has contributed to 25 goals in just 48 games this season and has been one of the Merseyside outfit’s most prolific forwards alongside Mohamed Salah.
