Reported by The Daily Telegraph on February 9, Lallana is set to become the next player at Liverpool to extend his contract; the midfielder will sign a new deal with the Reds that will last for 4 years. Reports suggest that Lallana’s agent is in advanced talks with Liverpool regarding a contract extension, and the England international is likely to sign a new deal worth £150,000 per week soon. This new contract will keep Lallana until the summer of 2021, by which time he will be 32 years old, meaning he will have left his peak years at Anfield. Lallana transferred from Southampton to Liverpool in 2014 for £25 million; after a difficult start, the midfielder was reborn under Klopp’s guidance. Especially since switching to a central midfielder this season, he has become the absolute core of the team. He is also a key player for the England team, and at the next World Cup he will be an indispensable member of the Three Lions under their new manager, Southgate. Liverpool manager Klopp hopes to secure Lallana’s future, as he views the midfielder as a cornerstone of the team’s future. And this midfielder is also one of Klopp’s staunch supporters, so his contract extension is not surprising. He will become another Red Army player to decide to extend his contract after Coutinho. Klopp plans to keep the core players who have proven themselves. In addition, he plans to sign 4-5 new players whom he has been following for a long time this summer.
