Jurgen Klopp is reportedly keen to offer Ragnar Klavan and Alberto Moreno new terms this summer.
Liverpool fans were understandably delighted when forward Roberto Firmino penned a new long-term deal this week, but the latest contract renewal rumours to come out of Anfield have divided supporters.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is hoping star men Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah will follow Firmino in agreeing new deals but, in a surprise move, the German also wants to extend the contracts of defensive duo Ragnar Klavan and Alberto Moreno, according to Guardian Sport.
Klavan, who joined the Reds from Augsburg in 2016, has seen his first-team chances limited since the January arrival of Virgil Van Dijk and has been linked with a move away from the club.
Former Sevilla left-back Moreno has also fallen down the pecking order due to Andrew Robertson’s impressive recent form, but Klopp is reportedly keen to retain the duo ahead of the prospect of another season of Champions League football.
And Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to address the claims, with many saying Klopp should reconsider:
But others say the duo will come in handy as squad players next term:
While Klavan and Moreno may not have done enough to force themselves into first-team contention, retaining their services could prove to be a shrewd move by Klopp.
Both have just one year remaining on their current deals and renewing their contracts, rather than splashing the cash, will surely be a more appealing option to Klopp and Liverpool’s owners.
