Brazilian Fabio Aurelio, 30, has been offered an appearance-related deal to seal his Liverpool future after this season.
Boss Rafa Benitez wants a 'realistic' agreement because of the full-back's injury record.
Aurelio, who was in the most recent Brazil squad for the friendly against England, is available on a Bosman next summer.
Benitez said: "Fabio has been really unlucky. When we spoke to him about an extension he had an injury and he has had a lot of injuries in the past.
"We made him an offer and the agent said not at the moment.
"We will talk to him again in the future because he is a good person and great professional.
"Maybe the situation needs to be looked at in a different way. He has to be realistic. I know he's pleased here and the important thing is I have a good relationship with him."
