Liverpool backup goalkeeper Adrian admits he has been speaking to the club about a new contract for some time.

The news of Adrian renewing took some fans by surprise, given his lack of playing time this past season.

But the shot-stopper is more than happy to sign up for another year at the club.

Asked when talks about a new deal began, he told the club website: "It started around April when Michael's team contacted my agent and showed the intentions of the club.

"Then after that I had some meetings with them personally; many talks with John and Jack, the goalkeeping coaches. With Jürgen, Pep. At the end of the day, staying was always my priority.

"To be fair, I had some options as well away, being out of contract.

"But also for me, it's really important that the family is well settled to the city, to the UK – it's not my first year there. The kids are enjoying school also, learning some Scouse! It's not just the personal side, it's also my family.

"Everyone is happy there, so having the option to continue was not a difficult decision for me."
