Skrtel lines up talks over Liverpool future
The Slovakian defender has just two years to run on his current
contract and, with the Reds having another dismal season, the
centre-back could leave for a better shot at trophies
Martin Skrtel has lined up talks with the Liverpool hierarchy as the defender considers his future, says his agent.
As Goal.com revealed last week, the Slovakian defender is expected to ask for a transfer away from the Anfield outfit
following a dismal Premier League season in which the club finished out
of the European places once more and below Everton for the first time
in seven years.
And Karol Csonto, the player’s
representative, has admitted that Liverpool’s future ambitions and
expectations will have a big say over whether or not Skrtel remains at
the club, with contract renewal discussions imminent.
“Some changes have been made at the club and the player wants to know what the aims and ambitions are," Csonto told The Independent.
“We want to discuss with Liverpool what they want and, of course, we will discuss the issue of Martin's new contract.
"You cannot say Liverpool won't play in the Champions League. It is a
big club and because they haven't made it this year doesn't mean they
would not next.
"There are expectations on both sides, though."
The 27-year-old was named the club’s Player of the Season on Monday
after making 34 league appearances for the Reds this campaign.
