Carragher keen to extend Reds deal
Veteran Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher is keen to agree a new contract which will see him end his playing career at Anfield.
Amid reports, which the club have refused to comment on, that a board meeting is scheduled for Thursday where the current ownership issue will be discussed, the 32-year-old at least offered some reassuring consistency.
Towards the end of last season it had been suggested the former England international would consider leaving the only professional club he has played for if an adequate deal was not forthcoming.
However, Carragher dismissed that suggestion some time ago and has spoken about how keen he is to see out the remainder of his lengthy career with the Reds. "I'm sure I'll be signing a contract and looking forward to finishing my career at Liverpool," he said.
"I laugh when people say I've been in 'talks'. There'll be no talks, as it will probably be sorted in 20 minutes. The club have mentioned that the most important thing was to sort the ins and outs before the end of the transfer window.
"Then, if they want to speak to me, that's great. That's probably when we'll sit down and sort it out. I am desperate to finish my career at the club and I'm sure that will be the case."
