𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 | Conor Bradley has signed a six-year contract extension with Liverpool , valid until June 2031

Conor Bradley has signed a new four-year contract with Liverpool, committing his future to the club until the summer of 2029. This important development comes at a crucial time for the Reds as the team prepares for the anticipated departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold. As part of Liverpool’s ongoing efforts to revamp their squad, they are also expected to activate the £29.5 million (€35 million) release clause for Jeremie Frimpong, a highly regarded player currently at Bayer Leverkusen.

The newly signed contract reinforces Liverpool’s faith in Bradley, a talented right-back who has shown impressive growth throughout the current season while contributing to Arne Slot’s successful Premier League-winning team. The 21-year-old defender received accolades for his outstanding display in a Champions League match against Real Madrid in November, a performance that highlighted his readiness to compete on major stages.

This season, Conor Bradley has appeared in 27 matches across various competitions for Liverpool, proving his worth despite battling some recurring injury issues. His role is expected to increase significantly in the upcoming season due to Alexander-Arnold’s impending exit, making it crucial for Liverpool to identify a capable replacement for the established star. This context makes the potential signing of Frimpong all the more pertinent, as the club seeks to bolster its options in the right-back position.

Expressing his excitement about the new contract, Bradley stated, “To sign another contract, I’m very proud and happy to see what the next steps on our journey together will be,” in a message shared on the Liverpool website. His words reflect a determined mindset as he focuses on the hard work required to continue improving his game and contributing to the team’s success.

Originating from Castlederg, Bradley joined Liverpool’s youth academy from Dungannon Swifts in 2019. His first-team debut for the club came in 2021, and he benefited greatly from a loan spell at Bolton, where he gained valuable experience. Now, with 24 international caps for Northern Ireland, his rising stature is well acknowledged in this new contract, which recognizes his contributions and potential growth as a key player for the Reds.

Reflecting on his experience with the senior team, Bradley remarked, “It has been a fantastic two years (with the senior team). Especially since coming back from loan and doing so well last year and continuing that on this year. It’s been really good. So, hopefully we can keep going and keep making more memories.” His positive perspective showcases his ambition and eagerness to build on his success while playing for one of the most storied clubs in football.

Meanwhile, Bradley’s new contract aligns with Liverpool’s strategy of actively pursuing new talent as they negotiate a deal for Jeremie Frimpong. The 24-year-old Dutch international has made his aspirations clear, expressing a desire to move to Anfield. His versatility allows him to excel both as a right-back and a right-winger, which makes him an appealing target for the club. Manager Slot has shown strong belief in Frimpong’s capabilities, which bodes well for the player’s prospects at Liverpool.

Frimpong has enjoyed a remarkable spell at Bayer Leverkusen since his arrival in January 2021, during which he scored 30 goals and assisted a further 44 in 190 games across all competitions. His contributions were pivotal in helping the team clinch the German domestic double last season. With Frimpong expressing his intent to leave Leverkusen, the prospect of joining Liverpool is increasingly likely, particularly as the club searches for a new right-back to replace the departing Alexander-Arnold.

As Liverpool gears up for this transformative summer, including the confirmed exit of Alexander-Arnold when his contract concludes on June 30, the club’s focus is firmly on enhancing their squad to ensure competitiveness at the highest level in the forthcoming seasons. With prominent changes on the horizon, fans can look forward to an exhilarating summer filled with potential reinforcements and a fresh chapter for Liverpool FC.
