Conor Bradley has reportedly been offered a new five-year contract during recent negotiations with Liverpool.
The 21-year-old has proven to be a reliable substitute for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has suffered multiple injuries this campaign.
The Northern Ireland international is highly regarded by the Reds’ manager Arne Slot, who has featured Bradley in 12 Premier League games this season.
Although he signed his previous deal only 15 months ago, the current league leaders are set to ensure the player stays for at least another five-year term at the club.
According to The Sun, the new deal would reportedly pay Bradley around £75,000 per week, a significant increase from his current wage of £10,000 per week.
If finalised, this would place the 21-year-old above Ibrahima Konate and Luiz Diaz in Liverpool’s salary rankings.

Bradley’s new offer comes at a time when Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at Anfield remains uncertain amid links with a move to Real Madrid
The recent talks come at a time when Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain, as the Englishman’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current season.
Having spent his entire career with his boyhood club, the 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a potential move to Real Madrid once he becomes a free agent.
Mail Sport previously reported that Liverpool rejected a £20million offer for Alexander-Arnold from Los Blancos during the January transfer window.
However, with only four months left on his current deal, the England star can legally talk to any foreign club and sign an agreement to join them.
Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are two other players whose contracts are also set to expire at the end of this season, but Liverpool are expected to finalise contract extensions during ongoing negotiations.
Bradley’s latest development could ease the process of finding an alternative to Alexander-Arnold in Arne Slot’s team next season.
The Northern Ireland international returned to his boyhood club in the summer of 2023 following a year spent on loan at Bolton Wanderers.
He has appeared in Liverpool’s last six games, and played the whole match against Tottenham in the Carabao cup in February.
Bradley has already become a key player in Michael O’Neill’s squad, with 23 appearances and four goals since 2021.
