He has since become a firm favourite at the Reds and their boss Jurgen Klopp.

Now the Liverpool manager wants the veteran to stick around next season.

Milner is due to become a free agent in June when his current deal expires.

Now transfer insider Fabrizio Romano claims ‘talks are now underway’ over an extension.

And the two parties are due to hold more discussions over the coming days – with the Italian journalist stating ‘it’s up to Milner now’ to decide his future.

Should the ex-Leeds United, Newcastle and Aston Villa man agree to stay then he will reach an impressive landmark next term.
