It will he interesting to see if our resolve is tested in him over the summer. I just don't think he'll ever give us enough minutes. Couldn't even get until the end of the season for fucks sake.
He’s currently 27 (28 in December).
His contract runs until 2027.
I think next summer (2025) might be the crunch point. He’ll be 28 and have 2 years left on his contract. Potentially be looking for a new deal at that point. We’ll have a decision to make since he’ll still have good resale value.
Luis Diaz is in a similar situation being 27 and contract until 2027. However he’s on his 1st Liverpool contract and not his 2nd like Jota. I expect that means he’s due (or wants) a pay rise based on his performances. Liverpool need to think if he’s worth a new 4 year deal on improved terms.
Diaz and Jota decisions could be linked given they play similar positions.
Konate might be in similar boat to Jota. Bit younger at 24 (nearly 25) but injury prone and contract expires in 2026. Big decision on whether we extend Konate through his peak years coming this summer.
