Liverpool are a club committed to standing by and developing young talent.
That continues to be demonstrated by the growth of, most recently, Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley in 2023/24, with the pair racking up 3,453 senior minutes between this term.
This position has been further reinforced by the contract extension handed out to fellow promising youngster Calum Scanlon.

Senior Liverpool contracts to follow?
Don’t stop now, Liverpool!
You can expect conversations are being held behind the scenes when it comes to the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah.
Real Madrid are understood to be keeping a close eye on the situation as far as our vice skipper is concerned, though we’d be quite frankly appalled were Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards not making that a priority.
Not to detract from the wonderful news of Scanlon’s future being confirmed, of course!
Let Trent go he can’t defend can’t tackle thinks he’s better than is Bradley will show a better defensive player over next 2 years take money get rid and put towards better players Gomes and Bradley have done better lately
He can’t tackle which is why he plays as an inverted full back. His passing is almost de bruyne level and his vision is the best in the league. His tackling is the only attribute he lacks which is why he plays as an attacking full back.
What nonsense are you talking about. Trent is still young and achieved a lot
Know the players you are supporting.
