Ben Woodburn and Roberto Firmino are next in line for new contracts as Liverpool look to secure the long-term futures of their top talent.

Wales international Woodburn is set to be rewarded with improved terms when he turns 18 later this month. The teenager has clocked up 10 senior appearances for the Reds since Jurgen Klopp handed him his debut last November.

Liverpool are also keen to extend Firmino’s stay at Anfield. The Brazilian attacker, whose current deal runs until 2020, has scored 27 goals in 101 matches for the Reds since his £29million move from Hoffenheim in July 2015.

Klopp views Firmino, who celebrated his 26th birthday on Monday, as key to his plans going forward and the Reds’ hierarchy intend to recognise his progress over the past two years and fend off interest from elsewhere.

The situation regarding Emre Can’s contract stand-off with Liverpool remains unchanged.

The Germany international’s current deal expires at the end of the season and the Reds risk losing him on a free transfer.

Negotiations over an extension started in the summer of 2016 but reaching an agreement has proved problematic. Can’s representatives want him to become one of the club’s highest wage earners and they want to have a release clause written into his contract.

Liverpool have so far been unwilling to yield to their demands but Klopp still retains hope that a compromise can be achieved.

Speaking about Can’s future in August, Klopp said: “Do I think it is too cool that we didn’t fix it so far? No, to be honest. But it is all okay at the moment and we have to take it like this.

“It’s clear we want him and he also wants to stay. It is about a few little details. The situation is not perfect, but I am still positive we can find the right solution for both sides.”

The Reds rejected an approach for Can from Juventus this summer with Klopp determined to keep him on board this season.

However, the Serie A outfit remain keen to secure his services and the 23-year-old midfielder could sign a pre-contract agreement with them when the January window opens.
