Three of the current squad have deals that expire in June 2026: Caoimhin Kelleher, Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson.

Kelleher is expected to depart this summer, especially with the imminent arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, while there is unlikely to be huge concern if Robertson were to walk away in 12 months’ time given his performance levels this season and the expectation that Liverpool will bring in a new left-back in the upcoming transfer market.

However, Konate presents a different problem.



Konate revealed in January that talks over a new deal have taken place, but as the player nears the final 12 months of his contract, there will be concerns that he might let his existing terms wind down at Anfield.

"Hearing big clubs like that being interested is very flattering, but now I'm focusing on this season; I want to win everything - take as many titles as possible and then everything that happens in relation to my contractual situation.

Konate is yet to agree new terms with Liverpool.

Recent reports have suggested that the player wants a significant wage increase to remain at Liverpool, which has stalled any progress in negotiations.

According to the Times, Konate wants to double his wages - at least

Talks have been ongoing since last October.

Whether Konate stays with Liverpool beyond 2026 will be dependent on many factors, including whether he is keen on a move, particularly back to his home city of Paris

Wages will be an obvious issue, as will the team’s success (or lack of) next season and the general direction of the club under Slot.

Should Konate depart, losing one of the world’s best center-backs would be a huge blow for Liverpool - he will turn 27 in May 2026 and has years of development still ahead of him
