Liverpool is reportedly ‘pushing on with contract talks’ for star striker Diogo Jota as a reward for the player’s outstanding performance since joining from Wolves.
This information was provided by Dominic King on Twitter, who stated that the Portuguese international will be given a new long-term contract after his current contract expires in 2025.
The 25-year-old enjoyed another solid campaign with the Merseysiders the last term, amassing 29 goal contributions in 55 games as the club came close to completing a historic quadruple trophy haul.
Being a critical part of our forward line, it’s far from surprising that Jurgen Klopp and the club are especially keen to ensure the former Wolves man’s long-term future is tied to Anfield.
With Luis Diaz aged 25 and Darwin Nunez aged 23, the recruitment team has done an exceptional job in gradually implementing new additions to keep a front-three fresh.
Liverpool are pressing on with contract talks with Diogo Jota and believe they will tie him down to a long-term deal. He’ll back training soon (within 2 weeks) but his importance in squad is huge. Talks with his advisors been progressing for some time 🔴

Many had assumed it would be impossible for us to move on from a starting set of Sadio Mane, Firmino, and Mo Salah.
A long-term replacement for the latter will need to be discovered at some point, though there’s every indication that our Egyptian King will remain a force of nature well into his 30s.
