Liverpool are due to hold talks with the Brazilian pair of Alisson and Fabinho about new contracts with the club.
Jurgen Klopp is looking to tie down the nucleus of his squad to long-term deals ahead of next season and pair have both become integral to the team.
Goalkeeper Alisson is the hero of the hour after his dramatic headed winner deep into injury time against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, joined Liverpool from Roma in July 2018, in a deal worth £60 million. He is already under contract until 2014, but now the Anfield club want to extend that further.
His compatriot Fabinho arrived almost at the same time from Monaco for a fee of around £40 million, and has two years left on his current deal.
Discussions with the pair of them will take place when the team returns for pre-season training at the start of July.
