Liverpool legend Ian Rush has reacted to the latest contract update emerging from Anfield ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have both put pen to paper on new deals on Merseyside, adding another two years to their stays with the current Premier League champions.

With the Reds ready to go for another season, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez have been added to the squad list, and Marc Guehi could be the next arrival at Liverpool.

Arne Slot lifted the Premier League title during his first season in England, but after being knocked out of the Champions League and FA Cup at early stages, supporters are eager for more success.

While the latest update at Anfield is not another big-money signing, supporters will be extremely excited to see another youngster confirm his future on Merseyside.

Liverpool youngsters being given more chances at Liverpool

Football Insider verdict

Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley were both given chances to shine last season, though the former Liverpool defender is set to join Bayer Leverkusen after a brilliant time away with England Under-21s.

The Reds' FA Cup clash with Plymouth Argyle also saw Nyoni, Isaac Mabaya, Trent Kone-Doherty, and James McConnell, and while they faced defeat, it was an incredible moment for the youngsters.

Next season represents another chance for Slot to give academy graduates chances to impress, and Nyoni is likely to be one of those after his latest contract renewal.

The 18-year-old midfielder has made just six first-team appearances, but if more players are to leave this summer, he could be given even more chances to slide into the senior squad.

Speaking to Liverpool News 247 (18 June), Ian Darke admitted he would not be surprised if the young winger made the switch to Everton this summer after consistent links in the media.

Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas, and Harvey Elliott could all leave the club, and with more signings expected, it would be no surprise to see several exits.
