JOHNSON MAY STAY

Glen Johnson’s contract with Liverpool is entering its final year and rumors started building up linking him with Real Madrid as the Spanish club could make a move for the 29 years old defender when his contract expires.

Brendan Rodgers will be releasing some of his players that have high wages and Johnson is one of them and it was believed that was going to be one of the players which will be seeing their way out of Liverpool at the end of the season and considering that the former Chelsea player has been hampered with injuries, the rumor of him leaving the club was becoming very plausible but Rodgers recently revealed that he wants to keep Glen Johnson for the time being.

Rodgers said: “We want to keep Glen here There is no question about that, especially now he’s in this form. He’s 29 and we feel that he has still got good years ahead of him. No contracts will be looked at until the summer but his will be a priority for us, especially if he continues in the form that he’s in.

“The beauty of this is we want to keep Glen and Glen loves it here. We just need to find a solution which is good for both. If we can do that then the club will have a very good player for years to come.”

Glen Johnson made his move from Portsmouth to Liverpool back in 2009 and with a transfer fee of €17 million, it was a bargain price for the player who is the undisputed right-back of Liverpool and even though injuries have taken a toll on him, he still remains being one of the top choices in the defence of the club.
