On Thursday, Liverpool announced a contract extension with Klopp until 2026. For Liverpool, which are hitting the quadruple crown, it is clear that klopp's contract extension will become a new impetus. So, what kind of squad will Liverpool line up in 2026? The Mirror made the prediction.
After winning the Champions League and premier league title, Liverpool has performed even better this season, and is expected to become the first four-crowned team in England's history. However, Liverpool have taken precautions and continue to improve the thickness and strength of the squad through reinforcements.
Needless to say, the defensive line Klopp built was the foundation of their success. Even after 4 years, the defensive line will still work, with the oldest van Dijk reaching 35, but from the current point of view, he will still be able to guarantee excellent form by then. Allison, 34, and Robertson, 32, can also continue to be the main players, while Arnold, 28, and Konat, 26, are at their peak.
In midfield, Henderson and Thiago will withdraw from the main squad, but Klopp has reserved some future stars, including Jones and Elliott. In addition, Liverpool have been scouting Behringham, and if they are successfully signed to Behringham, then Liverpool's midfield is still strong enough.
By 2026, Firmino, Salah and Mane may all withdraw from the main squad, but Jota and Díaz have guaranteed Liverpool's firepower. In addition, Liverpool are expected to sign Fabio Carvalho from Fulham in the summer window, and the media revealed that the 19-year-old Carvalho has undergone a medical examination for Liverpool, and the two sides will sign until 2027.
Liverpool's 2026 forecast starting line-up: Alisson, Arnold, Van Dijk, Conat, Robertson, Fabinho, Elliott, Bellingham, Jota, Díaz, Fabio Carvalho
