There is great uncertainty at Anfield regarding the future of the biggest names in the team. Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk are all in the final year of their contracts, and to make matters worse, there is no indication that any of them will extend their deals. While fans wait—or rather hope—that one of the mentioned players will sign a new contract, the Reds have secured the future of their captain’s successor. Anfield officials proudly announced a new, long-term deal with Jarell Quansah (21), one of the club’s academy graduates.BREAKING: Jarell Quansah has signed a new long term contract at Liverpool 🚨 pic.twitter.com/JOOAA0LJsS— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) October 7, 2024 Quansah joined the club as a five-year-old, progressed through all youth levels, and has made 30 appearances for the senior team. He made his debut last August in the Premier League’s third round, coming off the bench against Newcastle, just three months after committing to a long-term deal with the Reds. However, the club, impressed with his progress, wanted to reward him with a new contract that offers better financial terms.”I couldn’t be happier right now. The way the new manager came in and his style of play had a big influence on my decision, and I think this is the best club in the world where I can develop and become a better player. The players around me Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, for example, who I want to work hard with and listen to, I think are the best in their positions at the moment. So, as I said, there’s probably no better place for me to be,” Quansah stated after signing the contract.His grandfather was a Black Star – and he’s all RedAlthough in this statement he mentioned Arne Slot’s influence on his decision to sign a new deal, the English center-back hasn’t played much since Liverpool’s new manager arrived. Quansah started in the opening match against Ipswich, but as Slot explained after the game, he was substituted at halftime for tactical reasons and has since played only 90 more minutes against West Ham in the League Cup.##NAJAVA_MECA_8398493##
