Luca Stephenson's loan at Dundee United from Liverpool ended after the 2025-2026 season. He spent two years at the club, arriving in the summer of 2024, and became a player who was frequently relied upon by Dundee United, also captaining the team against Motherwell. Liverpool will now evaluate Stephenson’s future, with possibilities including opportunities to play nearer to Arne Slot’s first-team or another loan. His final weeks at Dundee United were complicated by a hamstring injury that ended his season prematurely, but he received a farewell before the Dundee derby and again on the final day in Paisley.

Luca Stephenson, a 22-year-old from Liverpool, is spending his second consecutive year on loan at Dundee United, where he has become a key player for manager Jim Goodwin. The Scottish club showed how highly they rate the midfielder by making him captain for a match against Motherwell. If Liverpool decides to sell Stephenson permanently, his good performances are expected to result in a good transfer fee for the Reds. This potential price might prove too expensive for Dundee United. It is suggested that a permanent move back to Scotland would be a good option for Stephenson. He is well-regarded at his current club and would likely be keen to stay, similar to when Leighton Clarkson moved to Aberdeen in 2023.
