Jurgen Klopp wants midfielder to sign one-year contract

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp would like midfielder Adam Lallana to sign a one-year contract, according to the Telegraph.

Lallana’s contract at Liverpool expires come the end of the 2019-20 season, which means he will be allowed to leave the club on a free transfer.

However, despite Klopp accepting he will lose Lallana come the end of the campaign, he still wants the Englishman to sign a one-year deal at Liverpool, as he believes Lallana still has plenty to offer.

Lallana can discuss and agree terms with other clubs from today, which will then see him join his chosen club in six months time.

It would make sense for Liverpool to try and convince Lallana to sign a new deal. He has been quite a handy squad player this season.

His most notable achievement was the equaliser in the 1-1 Premier League draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford back in October.

Lallana will ultimately have the option of staying at Anfield and competing for trophies, or move to a new club and start in more matches.

It does appear unlikely that Lallana will sign a new deal, as he is only six months away from being able to depart the club.

Despite all this, is commitment in regards to Liverpool winning the Premier League this season is clearly there to be seen.

Lallana told Liverpoolfc.com the following after featuring in the Reds’ 1-0 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield last weekend: “It’s a squad game and I’ve said before that we’re going to need everybody.

“We’ve got a few injuries at the time being and three or four kids on the bench, it’s a great experience for them being involved and so close to what’s been a special season so far.

“We can’t take our foot off the gas. We’ve got a couple of huge games at home in the next week – Sheffield United, who have had a fantastic season, and then the derby in the cup. A couple of big games that we can see in the next week.

“It’s important we recover because we’ve had a few injuries and it’s important that we get everybody back fit as quickly as possible.

“We want to maintain that form going into the New Year and keep Anfield a fortress.”

Lallana clearly would still like to be playing football on a regular basis, which is currently not the case at Anfield as of right now.

Liverpool are so strong in midfield, which does make it to difficult for Lallana to get the minutes he would like. A move away from Anfield would be seen as appropriate for him.
