Liverpool star Xabi Alonso would be keen on extending his
contract at Anfield, according to the player's
representative.
Reports emanating this week have suggested Liverpool are preparing
to begin talks with Alonso about keeping him at the club.
Alonso's future has been the subject of speculation in recent
months with Atletico Madrid believed to be keen on luring him back
to Spain.
The classy midfielder still has two years to run on his current
contract and the player's agent Inaki Ibanez admits Alonso would be
happy to make his stay at Liverpool even longer.
"At the moment there are no talks, but when Liverpool call we will
answer them," Ibanez told skysports.com
"Xabi is very happy at Liverpool and he is enjoying playing
there.
"The most important thing for Xabi at the minute is for him to
concentrate on playing as he has a lot of important games coming
up.
"When contract talks do come up he will be happy to talk to
Liverpool about staying."
