In the coming years, Richard Hughes is going to find that problem out first-hand. There are going to be players who want to leave for pastures new because they are not getting enough playing time. Others will want to earn more money, yearn for a new challenge and more.

So, as Hughes continues to build his Liverpool dynasty, it's not just new signings that are going to play a key role in his recruitment.

He's also going to have to focus on tying players down to long-term deals. Building stability and important foundations are going to be the essence of what will entice players to stay.

That and being successful on the pitch. But the two go hand in hand in one synergy. So, Hughes' mission will be to sign the players he believes have a lasting future at the club onto long-term deals.

This has succeeded with Cody Gakpo, who penned a new deal until 2030 towards the end of August. He's someone who has been vital to Liverpool's success in the last two seasons and he will continue to be an important player.

He's not the only one who Hughes is keen for Liverpool to retain. Talks are ongoing with Ibrahima Konate, and there is hope that Liverpool will succeed in making sure he stays at the club.

Obviously, though the most important person to keep around is the club's head-coach. Arne Slot signed only a three-year deal when he joined Liverpool in 2024.

He's got just two years left on those terms, and after success in the Premier League, it's fair to say he deserves an extension. Slot is very much the future of the Reds.
