Liverpool star now EXPECTS contract extension
One Liverpool star admits he expects a contract extension at Liverpool. The Reds have a free option to do so. Liverpool have dealt with complicated contract situations for over a year now. The entirety of last season was dominated off the pitch by Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold all playing on expiring contracts. Advertisement Two of those situations were then resolved the way we all hoped - Salah and Van Dijk each signed two-year contracts to remain with Liverpool. Alexander-Arnold, on the other hand, left the club for Real Madrid (although, technically, he was sold to them). This summer sees another couple of deals dominate. Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson are both on course to leave on free transfers in 2026. Liverpool certainly want to agree new terms for Konate, though it largely depends on wages. Robertson is a different matter - he's now past 30 and the club are actively hoping to replace him. However, they're not the only players entering the final year of their contracts. Alisson Becker is, too, but with a catch. Alisson Becker on his contract Alisson's contract technically expires in 2026. In fact, as things stand, he'll also leave on a free transfer. Advertisement Liverpool, though, did have an option in there to extend the deal by one year. Alisson expects them to do so, as he admitted in a press conference this week. "Now, I have one year left on my contract and another year [as an] option," said Alisson. "[Liverpool] will probably exercise that. "I think about what I have in my hands and doing my job well. It's a decisive moment in my career with a World Cup approaching. "I want to be focused and not planning to get in the way of that. I also have big goals with Liverpool." Liverpool would, of course, be absolutely mad not to extend Alisson's deal by another year. We believe he was the world's best goalkeeper last season and not someone who should be allowed to leave cheaply. The real question is whether he signs a new deal beyond that. Liverpool have already moved to replace him, with Giorgi Mamardashvili joining the squad this summer after signing a year ago.

You could have bought a Roman Anthony auto for $45
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 09: Roman Anthony #48 of the Boston Red Sox takes to the field in the eighth inning of his MLB debut against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park on June 09, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by) That time is long gone. The Roman reign has officially begun. Baseball's number one prospect has made his big league debut. It wasn't perfect, but the market doesn't seem to care. He showed poise, and he'll undoubtedly get many more chances to prove why he was (or still is) #1. Advertisement As is tradition, eBay was immediately flooded with listings from savvy collectors looking to unload their Roman Anthony cards to the highest bidder. With the exception of generational talents like Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, or Ronald Acuña Jr., it's well known that a player's MLB call-up is often the best time to sell their 1st Bowman cards. A player's 1st Bowman auto is usually their very first licensed autograph or card in a big-league uniform, and for many, it's the grail. With rumors swirling about his call-up, Wilyer Abreu's injury hitting the news, and that grand slam clip going viral, Anthony's card prices have been steadily trending up for the past two weeks. His PSA 10 1st Bowman base auto is now hovering around $800–$900, with sales reaching as high as $949 in the past 24 hours, a significant jump from the $450 it commanded just three months ago. (Buy on eBay) The price of Roman Anthony's Bowman Chrome auto has increased considerably over the last 3 months. (130 Point) If that feels like a big leap, wait until you see what he was selling for in the early days. Advertisement According to Big Bob's Cards on Twitter, one month after 2023 Bowman was released, 1st Bowman autos of Roman Anthony were going for a measly $45—down $20 from the month before, on release day. That's a staggering 1,900% increase to where we are today. This is the kind of story we all chase in the hobby: a $45 card turning into nearly $1,000. It's the perfect encapsulation of why prospecting is both exhilarating and brutally difficult. No one would've blamed you back then for investing in Cam Collier, Druw Jones, or Matt Mervis—at least two of whom might still pan out. If you've held Anthony through all the ups and downs over the past two years, a big pat on the back is in order. It's a picture-perfect hobby ending. Advertisement And for those still holding? Godspeed. Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.
