New contract COMING for Liverpool midfielder Real Madrid want

Liverpool have got a few contract details to tie up soon. Certain stars are out of contract in 2026 - such as Andy Robertson and more pressingly Ibrahima Konate.

Further down the line, Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker are all out of contract in 2027 along with Curtis Jones.

The England midfielder has been put forward as the next candidate for a new contract - alongside his colleague in the middle third Ryan Gravenberch.

Although the 23-year-old’s current deal doesn’t expire until 2028, the Dutchman has been suggested as a crucial figure to renew.

Liverpool plotting new Gravenberch contract

Having joined the club from Bayern Munich in 2023, Gravenberch has ended up exceeding all expectations - establishing himself as one of the best midfielders in the world.

A new deal - and a bumper pay rise - would be a just reward for the Ajax academy graduate - and also help see off interest from Real Madrid.

As usual, the 15-time European champions are sniffing around Liverpool’s best players - Gravenberch included. A new deal would help increase his value - surely pushing him into the £100m plus category of players - thereby frustrating Madrid’s overtures.

Liverpool confident of seeing off Madrid interest for Gravenberch

That’s according to a new report from Football Insider - which suggests the Anfield club are confident of tying the Netherlands’ international down for the long term.

“There’ll be a confidence from Liverpool that they could tie down Gravenberch to a new deal,” the report reads.

“He’d be fully deserving of a new contract, he has three years remaining on his current deal and Liverpool will look to discuss a new deal to end speculation over a move to Real Madrid.

“Liverpool are confident they can keep hold of Gravenberch because he’s a key figure in Slot’s plans and he is happy at Liverpool as well.

“There’s a willingness for all parties to sit down and thrash out a new deal because Liverpool see him as one of the first names on the team sheet at Anfield.”

Gravenberch has indeed been one of Liverpool’s standout players this term - even adding two goals and two assists across five matches thus far.
