Liverpool 'readying new contract offer' for 23-year-old after Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah renewals

Liverpool reportedly intend to offer one of their goalkeepers a contract extension after successfully tying down Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to fresh terms.

Liverpool reportedly intend to offer goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros a contract extension after successfully tying down Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to fresh terms.

The Reds are set for an extraordinary April, having confirmed new deals for Salah and Van Dijk at a time where they are only two wins away from guaranteeing the Premier League title.

Salah's two-year renewal until 2027 was announced last Friday, before Liverpool also confirmed that captain Van Dijk had agreed to stay on for another couple of seasons on Thursday.

The Premier League leaders have seemingly failed to persuade Trent Alexander-Arnold to continue at his boyhood club, though, as the right-back is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his terms run out.

While Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold's situations unsurprisingly made all the headlines, the Reds are facing another few critical contract decisions, including that of third-choice goalkeeper Jaros.

Contrary to previous belief, the 23-year-old is not out of contract at the end of the season, but he is still set to enter the last 12 months of his existing terms when the summer rolls around.

However, the Liverpool Echo claims that Jaros is now set to be offered a renewal by Liverpool, whom he made his senior debut for as a substitute in October's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace following Alisson Becker's injury.

The Czechia international then made his first start for the Reds in their 3-2 EFL Cup fourth-round win over Brighton & Hove Albion later that month, but he has not played a single minute for the team since.

Nevertheless, the report adds that Liverpool have recognised the hard work that Jaros has put into practice sessions, and the 23-year-old is seemingly happy to continue at Anfield for a little while longer.

Liverpool will welcome Giorgi Mamardashvili to the club from Valencia this summer, while Alisson is not expected to leave just yet, but Caoimhin Kelleher could finally depart in search of a number one shirt elsewhere.

Another loan exit for Mamardashvili next season has apparently not been ruled out, so there is a chance that Jaros will spend the 2025-26 campaign as Alisson's backup shot-stopper.

The 23-year-old has now been with Liverpool for eight years since leaving Slavia Prague in 2017, and he has been loaned out to St Pat's, Notts County, Stockport County and Sturm Graz in that time.

Which other Liverpool players are in line for new contracts?

Now that Van Dijk and Salah's renewals are taken care of, Liverpool are expected to prioritise Ibrahima Konate's situation, as the Paris Saint-Germain-linked defender is out of contract in 2026.

The Reds have supposedly been trying to agree fresh terms with Luis Diaz too, but they have been unable to reach a breakthrough in negotiations with the Colombian, whose deal runs for another two years.

Harvey Elliott's situation is one to watch too, as the 22-year-old - who has not started a single Premier League game this season - could leave for nothing in 2027.
