Conor Bradley has signed a new four-year deal with Liverpool, keeping him at Anfield until the summer of 2029. The 21-year-old right-back has made a huge impression this season, appearing 27 times in all competitions. His impressive performance, particularly during the Champions League victory over Real Madrid in November, has garnered significant praise from fans and analysts alike.
Bradley’s contract extension is well-timed for Liverpool as they gear up to make significant moves as the club’s roster faces upheaval in the coming months. With Trent Alexander-Arnold departing the club when his contract runs out on June 30, it would appear a high-profile replacement is needed. That creates an opportunity for Bradley to take on a bigger role this season.
Rising Star
Since making his debut for Liverpool’s senior team, Bradley has proven himself to be a go-to guy. On the international stage, he’s represented Northern Ireland 24 times, making his mark as one of the countries best players.
“To sign another contract, I’m very proud and happy to see what the next steps on our journey together will be,” – Conor Bradley
Bradley thanked everyone, especially those who worked behind the scenes supporting him thus far and said hard work helped shape and develop him.
“You’ve just got to keep your head down and keep working hard,” – Conor Bradley
His hard work seems to be quickly paying dividends, as he has made himself a staple within the squad.
Future Changes
Liverpool are also in negotiations to finalise a transfer for Jeremie Frimpong of Bayer Leverkusen. The highly-regarded and experienced right-back has a release clause of £29.5 million (€35 million). Given his quality and versatility, he can thrive in the right-back or right winger roles. Speculation has emerged recently suggesting that Frimpong wants a move to Liverpool, an addition that could make the team’s defensive cartels even more powerful.
Frimpong’s attacking contribution helped Leverkusen to the German domestic double last season. This unexpected success cemented his legacy as one of the game’s most talented players. Liverpool manager Arne Slot is said to be extremely keen to sign him. This adjustment might be an indication of the on track change in teams as they start looking forward to next year.
Preparing for Change
As Liverpool prepares for these changes, Bradley is firmly focused on his continued development with the club. He looked back on his short time at the helm with hope for what lies ahead.
“It has been a fantastic two years (with the senior team),” – Conor Bradley
His ongoing evolution certainly fits with Liverpool’s desire to keep improving their squad while managing inevitable player exits. With Bradley’s young talent now joined by what could soon include Frimpong, the club is building the foundation for a thrilling future.
