It’s perhaps with that in mind that Liverpool have offered him a new five-year contract, lasting until 2026, according to the Liverpool ECHO.
His renewal follows that of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who agreed to extend his deal last week, and both represent the beginning of a raft of renewals say the Liverpool ECHO.
