Luca Stephenson, the young Liverpool midfielder, is expected to agree to a new contract with the club, securing his future at Anfield amid interest from other teams. Stephenson, who made significant strides during his loan at Dundee United by making 34 appearances and helping the club qualify for the Conference League, entered the final year of his contract in 2025, prompting discussions about his next career move.

Speaking to DUTV, Stephenson expressed a strong desire to remain at Liverpool if he can replicate his recent performance level, stating he would want to continue his football at Anfield. His impactful season at Dundee United attracted attention not only from his loan club but also from Championship sides and teams abroad. Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin praised Stephenson’s contribution and confirmed ongoing talks but noted no guarantees due to the competition for his signature.

Liverpool, in a period focused on squad revitalization, appear keen to retain the promising midfielder. Keeping Stephenson is seen as a shrewd piece of business given his potential and the interest from multiple clubs. Liverpool had previously secured him on professional terms after he impressed since joining their youth setup at the Under-15 level and captaining the Under-18s. Stephenson fell out of the season's final weeks due to injury but still left a lasting impression during his loan spell.

The club’s strategy to renew contracts with key players includes Stephenson as part of their future plans, ensuring they maintain a strong pool of emerging talent as other senior stars face contract renewals. While specific contract length details remain undisclosed, Liverpool's intent to keep him aligns with their broader goals to blend youth development with team stability.
