Liverpool are preparing to offer Brad Friedel a sensational chance to extend his Premier League appearance record into another season.
The 39-year-old American, out of contract at Aston Villa this summer, is on Kenny Dalglish’s list of options if he is forced to replace Pepe Reina.
Spanish star Reina, 28, has hinted he may move on rather than face another season without Champions League football .
Manchester United and Arsenal are keen to sign him, which would leave Dalglish searching for an experienced replacement.
Friedel – whose career in England began at Liverpool – would fit the bill. He will be 40 in May, but Saturday’s trip to Everton extended his record for consecutive top- flight appearances to 259 games.
Villa boss Gerard Houllier has been unsure about extending Friedel’s contract because of his age with talks about a new deal put on ice since January.
