Daniel Agger's long-term future at Liverpool has been under a cloud for quite some time.
Firstly, the emergence of Martin Skrtel has brought immense competition in central defence, combined with the apparent indestructibility of veteran stoppers Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyypia.
But the main source of the 24-year-old's unrest at Anfield is the confusion surrounding his contract, which expires in the summer of 2010.
Agger entered discussions with the Reds last year, but no progress has been made in nearly three months and a move to AC Milan is looking likelier by the day.
"The ball is in Liverpool's court. I've not heard from them about this since the beginning of November," the Danish star told members of the press last night.
"There is no reason to have high expectations and to be honest, I have no idea if they want to sign a new deal."
Agger isn't the only one upset by this, as manager Rafael Benitez recently expressed his frustration at Liverpool's delay in offering a contract extension to the talented centre-half.
