Veteran Liverpool midfielder James Milner remains important to the club despite his age, according to manager Jurgen Klopp...
He is out of contract in June having signed a 12-month extension last summer but his influence in the dressing room cannot be under-estimated and Klopp admits they are preparing a number of options, which could include a coaching role, come the end of the campaign.“When you see him play the other night I think everyone understands that.
“You can’t judge him normal for his age. He is 37, doesn’t look a day like this when he is in training. He is an incredibly important player and in this game you saw that on the pitch as well. “It is not that Milly expects to play 64 games a season but in 64 games a season Milly could be extremely important. That is how it is. Milly has reached 600 games and most of them for Liverpool.“There might be more fancy players out there but no one with a similar mindset and that makes him incredibly valuable for us. And it is not because I am too loyal. It is just a fact.
“What could be the reason? When you think a bit, where could it hang, could be the time , the money, it is completely normal,” said the manager when asked why a new deal had not been signed.“The first part of the season we were not flying but Bobby was the only one who played a normal season. “He is really important, the link-up, in tight areas having a player with his footballing intelligence, you can develop the game from here.“I don’t know 1,000 percent what his plans are, maybe someone else will offer him something better?”
