Daniel Agger has revealed he wants to commit his
long-term future to Liverpool but The Reds are currently stalling
on a new deal.
Agger was linked with a move to Real Madrid two months ago, when
Martin Skrtel’s excellent form was forcing the Dane to settle for a
place on the bench.
However, Skrtel’s knee injury has seen Agger form solid
partnerships with both Jamie Carragher and Sami Hyypia during
Liverpool’s stay at the top of the table, and the
24-year-old is keen to sign a new deal.
Intriguingly, the Dane reveals that it is now Liverpool who are
slowing up negotiations – although he is unsure why.
“I hope to stay. I don’t know what the hold-up is,” he told The
Guardian.
“I let the club do the talking and I will try and do mine on the
pitch.
“I want to stay if it is possible.”
