Raul Meireles Looks For Contract Improvement After Successful First Season

Liverpool midfielder Raul Meireles will ask the club to improve his contract after being deemed a success in his first season on Merseyside, according to The Guardian.

The Portuguese international joined from Porto last summer on a rumoured £30,000 a week contract but was promised a summer review of those terms if he adapted well to the Premier League.

He said recently: "If I had this opportunity I'd sign a new contract today. [For] 10 years, 20 years, for sure."

Meireles has flourished in the Premier League this season, particularly since the return of Kenny Dalglish, under whom he has scored all of his five goals this season.

The former Porto midfielder, 27, also won the prestigious PFA Fans' Player of the Year award.
