‘We’re told…’ - Sky Sports share live TV news for Liverpool fans before Inter

Speaking live on air, via Football Daily, Sky Sports have shared their own update on James Milner’s contract situation at Liverpool before Wednesday’s trip to Inter.

Just recently, rumours surfaced of a fresh new deal offer on the table for Liverpool’s veteran midfielder.

Indeed, as reported by transfer journalist and big name source Fabrizio Romano, the Anfield side are apparently locked in talks over fresh terms for Milner following the personal request of manager Jurgen Klopp.

The 36-year-old and Liverpool will apparently continue discussions over the next few weeks/months as attention now switches to Milner’s side.

Sky, sharing their own update, have slightly different news to report.

According to the broadcast giant, via FD, Liverpool do indeed want to extend Milner’s deal – but no offer or talks have come to pass at this stage.

“Just want to bring you some news about James Milner,” Sky explained on live TV.

“Jurgen Klopp has asked Liverpool to open talks with the England midfielder about a new contract.

“We’re told that there have been no discussions so far with the player’s representatives, so reports today that the club have made him an offer appear to be wide of the mark.”

Klopp wanting to keep Milner for another season on Merseyside speaks volumes over his ability and attitude behind-the-scenes.

Despite entering the twilight phase of his career, Liverpool’s ace has been used fairly regularly, making 16 Premier League appearances in total this season (WhoScored).

In that time, Milner has grabbed an assist whilst averaging the joint-fifth most tackles per 90 out of Liverpool’s squad (WhoScored) – proving himself a capable back-up option for Klopp.

Bearing this in mind, Liverpool have little to lose in granting
