Liverpool veteran Jamie Carragher would have "no problem" moving to
another club if the Reds decide against offering him a contract
extension.
The 32-year-old defender will have a year remaining on his
present deal when this season finishes, and there are no
negotiations currently taking place about a renewal.
That could change in the summer, as Liverpool are keen to let
Carragher focus on playing before looking at his future.
But Carragher, who has spent all of his career so far at
Anfield, acknowledges there may come a time when he has to search
for another club.
"The club will give me a new contract if they want to," he
told the Sunday Times. "If not it doesn't matter, I'll still play
my best and if I have to move then I'll move, no problem. It
wouldn't bother me."
Carragher famously quit international football in 2007 after
becoming frustrated with limited opportunities in the England team,
and stresses he is "not scared of making big decisions".
"It's a club thing," he said. "It's down to them. I'll keep
playing and see where it takes me."
Only Dirk Kuyt and Lucas Leiva have made more appearances
than Carragher for Liverpool in the Premier League this season,
suggesting the club still rely heavily on their vice-captain.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez said: "There is no news
about Carragher. We have spoken to him and he was very clear that
at this moment he just wants to concentrate on doing his job.
"I think Jamie prefers the situation as it is. The
information I have is that he is comfortable with how things are
and that he wants to wait."
