Liverpool are planning to have new contract discussions with Diogo Jota in the coming weeks.
Will Diogo Jota stay or leave this summer ?
Liverpool are likely preparing to have new contract talks with their striker Diogo Jota. The forward has disappointed with his performances this campaign so far. He currently earns £140,000 a week at Anfield.
The Portugal international has struggled for form this term. He has managed to score just six league goals. Along with his underwhelming performances in substitute appearances. This season has seen him out injured and his age sparks debate whether he can regain his past form.
In addition, he is expected to be sold by the Reds this summer. But, Football Insider reports, the Reds have plans on renewing his contract as soon as the campaign ends.
The Merseyside club‘s plans will have shocked their fans. Especially, after giving new deals to Mohamed Salah and long-termer Virgil van Dijk.
Mixed reactions as Liverpool prioritise Jota’s future
Arne Slot’s side is also going to have talks with both Ibrahima Konaté and Luis Díaz. Both of them have been incredible for the Reds so far. Whereas the Portuguese striker has struggled for form, Díaz and Konaté have been in a great form. They are likely to be key players under Arne Slot for the next season as well.
The former Wolves’ man was once a reliable goal-scorer, but not in this term. Many fans think that this summer is the right time for their club to find a younger, more consistent option.
A £200m transfer budget is reportedly being built. Additionally, using Diogo’s possible transfer fee could help raise more funds. Although the Portuguese’s efforts over the last few seasons has been important. His contributions are not reflected in Liverpool’s goal of fighting for Premier League and Champions League titles.
If the club wants to be successful again, they will have to make little harsh decisions in their squad..
