Pepe Reina and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 to be offered new contracts by Liverpool
Liverpool are set to offer a new contract to their Spaniard goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672 and may also be extending the contract of the Dutch international, Dirk Kuyt.
Reina is believed to be a target for Manchester United the coming transfer season as their goal keeper Edwin Van Der Sar is set to hang up his gloves at the end of the season. According to the media, Six Alex Ferguson is believed to be interested in Reina
as he has just the right expertise the Red Devils would want. Liverpool is reported to be offering an amount of £10,000 extra per week to keep their goalkeeper to keep him out of reach of United.
Reina was reported to have admitted that he couldn’t rule out a move from Anfield because he was anxious to get his hands on regular Champions League football.
Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool manager however revealed that Reina will not be moving out of Anfield. "We have a fantastic goalkeeper and he will be here for a long, long time. The Champions League is what everyone here wants to get to. For us it’s only been
a year where we’ve not had it and that’s what we want to get back. It should be the same for every [Liverpool] player; we should all be aiming for that."
Dirk Kuyt is also said to have a good chance of getting his contract renewed at Anfield. The 30-year-old forward is positive about his talks over the issue.
"We have had some talks and I can only say it looks positive. I feel at home in Liverpool and I don't want to leave here. It has been a difficult time for everyone at the club with the changes that have happened since last summer, but now I can sense something
good is happening – I think Liverpool is on the way back."
Kuyt was bought in from Feyenoord in 2006. He is keen to stay on the Reds team as he believes that Liverpool is progressing in the right direction after a turbulent campaign and that he can have a good career with the team. The Dutch had previously been
keen to have Dalglish as their permanent boss, which possibly increases his chances of a contract renewal.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 fans are of the view that Dalglish should not by any means let go of Reina as they believe that he is essential for the team to perform. As for Kuyt, there are mixed views among fans if he has the ability to perform up to the mark for Liverpool,
something a lot of Anfield faithful believe he does.
