Adam Lallana signs new Liverpool contract

Lallana signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2014 from Southampton for a fee of £25 million and he has become a key player under Jurgen Klopp.

Whilst the details of the new contract have not been officially announced by the club it is widely reported that it will run for three years with the option for a further year.

That means the new deal could run until 2021, when Lallana would be 32.

His new wage is reported to be around £110,000 a week with various bonuses and incentives.

Lallana has shown his versatility under Klopp, able to play as one of the front three or a bit deeper as a central midfielder.

He joins star player Philippe Coutinho, who recently signed a new contract of his own, in committing his future to the club.

Lallana said: "I’m very proud and feel quite humbled by the show of faith from the club and the manager in particular.

"Signing for a club like Liverpool is obviously a big thing – but to re-sign shows you’ve obviously contributed enough that the people who make the decisions want you to stay longer. This is a really good place to be at the moment and, for a player who wants to be part of something special, I can’t think of a better club to commit your future to.

"We have a brilliant squad of players who are only going to get better the longer we are together. We have a world-class manager and coaching staff.

"And because it’s Liverpool there is that added X-factor of the supporters and what success would mean to them when we achieve it here. I’m just delighted that I’m going to be part of it for even longer.

“I would say I feel in this moment like I’m playing as well as I ever have – and if that is the case of course the next challenge is to maintain or improve. That is always the case at a club like this – you have to keep proving yourself and challenging yourself.

“I think my best years are still ahead of me because I feel so fresh and confident.

“You can’t always promise to be the best player on the pitch but I think you can promise to try your best each and every game. I try to do that and I think the Liverpool supporters see that in me.”

His manager Jurgen Klopp said: "This is fantastic news for the club because Adam is a great player and an even better person. I am so pleased that we will spend more time together now and have this common future with LFC trying to be successful here.

"Adam is a natural leader and is so, so important within our team and also in the dressing room. Maybe on the outside his leadership is not seen as much as we see it each and every day at Melwood in everything he does.

"What I think is most exciting about this news is that this player is only just arriving at his peak. He has his very best years ahead of him and they will be at LFC. He is in fantastic shape and his passion for football is as high as I have seen in a player – you not only see that out on the pitch in matches, but also in training here at Melwood.

"People talk about his progression and his improvement in the last 18 months, but for me he has shown this quality since my first day at Liverpool.

"He has a world-class attitude to go with outstanding ability: that’s not a bad combination! Our younger players will now be able to benefit from watching, listening and learning from him for an even longer period because he sets the perfect example each and every day."
