Liverpool have extended a contract offer to a highly talented young striker who has already netted 90 goals at youth level and is the son of a former Premier League fan favorite.
The Reds capped off a remarkable 2024/25 season under new manager Arne Slot by clinching the Premier League title—their 20th top-flight championship.
With the season now over, Liverpool have released their updated Premier League retained list.
Among the departures from their academy are Dominic Corness, Louis Enahoro-Marcus, and Harry Evers, all of whom will leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have offered new deals to several prospects, including 18-year-old Keyrol Figueroa. The teenager, who represents the United States at youth international level, is the son of Maynor Figueroa—renowned for his stints at Wigan Athletic and Hull City in the Premier League.
Highly rated within the club, Keyrol drew attention after scoring an impressive 90 goals in a single calendar year at youth level.
Following the signing of his first professional contract last year, Figueroa has continued to impress, prompting Liverpool to offer him an extension. Later this month, he will join the U.S. U20 national team for friendlies in Egypt against Norway and Colombia.
Should he accept the new deal, Figueroa could break into Liverpool’s senior squad next season, potentially following his father’s path into Premier League football.
The young striker has spoken about the players who inspired him growing up. “When I was younger, I was just old enough to watch [Didier] Drogba and [Sergio] Aguero. I also watched Luis Suarez, and I tried to emulate [Fernando] Torres during his time at Atletico Madrid,” he said in an interview with the club’s official website.
He also cited Daniel Sturridge as a key influence, saying: “Sturridge at Liverpool was another I looked up to. Those are the kinds of players I admired.”
Describing his playing style, Figueroa added: “I’m powerful, strong with my back to goal, and I consider myself a complete finisher—I can score with either foot or my head.”
His father, Maynor Figueroa, made over 200 Premier League appearances and is best remembered for scoring one of the league’s most iconic goals: a stunning long-range free-kick from his own half against Stoke City.
