When it was announced that Liverpool superstar had agreed to stay and sign a new contract at Anfield, there was a jubilant atmosphere throughout the entire stadium.

Liverpool is making strides in contract negotiations with two of their defenders, Jarrel Quansah and Ibrahima Konaté, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

The team secured a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace this past weekend, maintaining a strong start to the season under new manager Arne Slot, and they remain at the top of the Premier League.

Diogo Jota scored the only goal of the match in the first half, contributing to the Reds’ impressive record of six wins in seven Premier League games, placing them ahead of rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.

Liverpool is focused on securing long-term contracts for key players as they plan for the future. Romano has indicated that the club is nearing an agreement to extend Quansah’s contract, which includes a pay increase, while discussions are underway for Konaté, who has been a standout performer this season.

Quansah has made remarkable progress since his debut last season under Jurgen Klopp, playing a significant role in the team’s Carabao Cup victory. Although Konaté began the season behind Quansah in the pecking order, he has since reclaimed his position and is now the preferred partner for Virgil Van Dijk.

Konaté has been a crucial part of Liverpool’s defense, with the team conceding only two goals in the Premier League this season. Across all competitions, they have allowed just four goals in ten matches, demonstrating that they possess one of the top defenses in Europe right now.

Securing the futures of these two essential players is a smart move for the Premier League club. Fans will likely be eager for similar news regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil Van Dijk.
