Brazilian wing-back Fabio Aurelio remains hopeful of securing a new contract with Liverpool when his current deal runs out next summer.

The 30-year-old has made 92 appearances for the Reds since his arrival from Valencia in the summer of 2006 and is keen to extend his time at Anfield.

He told the Daily Echo: "I feel very comfortable and my family is very settled here, but I know that it all depends on what the manager and the club thinks about me.

"We had started talking before the end of last season, but then I picked up the injury in the summer and since then there has not been any more contact.

"I just want to play at the minute before I think about anything else and we will see how everything goes from there.

"Every season I have felt more and more comfortable here and I have many good team-mates - this feels as if it is my home.

"I enjoy the city and the life that I have here and that is why it has felt like the time that I have been here has gone so fast.

"I'm really enjoying it; when you are settled and you are comfortable, that is all you want and that is why I would like to stay here if I can."
