Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has revealed he is willing to sign a new contract with the club.
The Argentina skipper's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent times, with the tough tackler being tipped to join the ranks of Barcelona during the summer.
However, the defensive midfield stalwart has revealed the talks are ongoing, and the ball is currently in the club's court.
"I'm waiting for an answer from Liverpool," Mascherano said, according to the News of the World.
"They know what I want so it depends on them and not me. We have been talking about the contract."
It is claimed that the Argentine has a four-year contract in mind, with a mega-pay rise to around £90,000-a-week.
Liverpool have already tied down Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun, while Pepe Reina is also expected to sign a new long-term contract with the club in the near future.
