Liverpool Defender To Be Rewarded With New Contract

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is set to sign a new contract at Liverpool that should ensure the Dane spends his prime years of his career at Anfield.

The centre back, who was closely linked with moves to Manchester City and Real Madrid during the summer transfer window is close to signing a new £75,000 per week deal at Liverpool on a reported four year contract the Mirror report, following lengthy negotiations between the club and Agger’s representatives.

The 27-year-old arrived from Danish side Bromby in 2006, and despite occasionally being plagued with injury, had developed into one of the club’s most stylish and solid defenders.

It appeared on a number of occasions during the summer that Agger was on the verge of leaving the club. Manchester City reportedly had two bids rejected for the defender, while interest emanating from Barcelona and Real Madrid refused to go away. A move failed to materialize however, and the defender chose to stick around to be part of Brendan Rodgers’s Anfield revolution.

The young trio of Raheem Sterling, Andre Wisdom and Suso are all reportedly to be offered long term deals at the club, following their impressive starts to the season. The Mirror reports that Suso is to be offered a five-year deal, amid suggestions that Real Madrid are monitoring the situation. The 18-year-old’s current deal expires next summer.
