This crucial Liverpool duo to be offered new contracts after Champions League final

Latest Liverpool news: Joel Matip and James Milner to be handed new deals

The Telegraph reports that Joel Matip and James Milner will be handed new contracts by Liverpool once the Champions League final is done.

The Reds face Tottenham at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday as they look to win the Champions League for a sixth time.

Joel Matip in training

Liverpool finished second in the Premier League and missed out on the title by one point, and we are in the second successive Champions League final under Jurgen Klopp.

Matip has been extremely important in our run to the Champions League final as he has flourished alongside Virgil van Dijk in the heart of the defence.

Milner too has done a great job for the team and has played in several positions this season. The Englishman played the second half of our Anfield clash against Barcelona as the left-back.

Players still have a year left on their current deals

The pair joined Liverpool on free transfers and the report adds that they have one year left on their current deals.

The report adds that Milner is to be retained by the club till 2021, and the team will follow a policy where players reaching 30 will have their deals continuously reviewed each season.

Matip did a great job taking over from the injured Joe Gomez in the second half of this season and is playing his best football since arriving from Schalke.
