Roberto Firmino and Ben Woodburn set to sign new long-term Liverpool contracts
The Reds are still locked in a stand-off with German midfielder Emre Can
ROBERTO FIRMINO and Ben Woodburn will be offered new contracts at Liverpool, according to reports.
The Reds are desperate to secure top talent to long-term deals at Anfield - although the contract stand-off with Emre Can is yet to budge.
The talented forward has already made 10 appearances for Liverpool and has two caps for Wales. Firmino has beaten competition from Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke and Mario Balotelli to become Jurgen Klopp's favourite striker. The German sees Firmino, who has scored 27 goals in 101 matches for the Reds, as key to his style of football and future plans. Liverpool are still locked in negotiations with Can. They will need to hurry as Can's deal runs out this summer and other clubs can begin talking to him from January. Talks with the German started all the way back summer 2016 but the two sides are not close to an agreement. Can's reps want the 23-year-old to be one of the club's highest earners and want a release clause written in. But the club have been unwilling to meet those demands so far. Juventus were in for Can in the summer but Liverpool rejected an approach.
