Liverpool have confirmed a new contract extension for Adrian who will now remain at the club after his contract had come to an end at the conclusion of the 2020/21 Premier League season.
Contract Extension for Adrian
Hard Work Has Paid Off
Speaking to the official Liverpool website Adrian has expressed his delight at the new deal and feels that his hard work has rightly been recognised by the Anfield club: “I’m delighted, I’m very happy to stay in the club. Firstly, because it’s a reward from the club for the hard work that I’ve been doing since I signed two years ago. I really appreciate that confidence from the club, from the manager and from everyone involved in that situation.”
Adrian Extension Surprising News
There is some surprise at the contract extension for the number 13 as he had fallen further down the goalkeeping pecking order at Liverpool behind main stopper and goalscoring hero Alisson Becker and Caoimhin Kelleher. In the 2020/21 season Adrian made six appearances, contributing three clean sheets.
The 34 year old knows that his game time will be limited but is committed to helping the club in any way that he can: “I try to help the team in every moment. To try to enjoy and give my experience in every second, to the player who plays in that moment or when I play, to try to be together at the same time.“
Fighting on All Fronts
With Liverpool’s end of season surge in form meaning they qualified for the Champions League, it means that Jurgen Klopp will need to use much of his squad with games coming thick and fast in Europe, the Premier League and the domestic cup competitions so Liverpool will be happy to have three fit keepers as they look to reclaim the Premier League title that they surrendered last season to Manchester City.
