Fabio Aurelio targeting new deal at Liverpool FC
Fabio Aurelio 460[LNB]FABIO AURELIO today spoke of his determination to banish his injury frustrations and earn himself a new Anfield deal.[LNB]The Brazilian defender joined Liverpool in July 2006 but given that his current contract expires next summer, he will be free to start talking to other clubs in the New Year.[LNB]However, Aurelio is not looking to move, as his young family are happy in Merseyside and he wants to continue to be part of a squad that he says is continuing to develop.[LNB]But as Aurelio has only made 92 appearances for the Reds since his Bosman move from Valencia, he appreciates the onus is on him to prove his fitness.[LNB]That's why he is now desperate for the chance to put a long sequence of starts together - beginning in this weekend's crucial trip to Sunderland - as the future is out of his hands.[LNB]'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,' said Aurelio.[LNB]'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.[LNB]'I just want to play at the minute before I think about anything else and we will see how everything goes from there.'
