John Arne Riise is confident of prolonging his stay at Anfield, despite the fact negotiations over a new contract have not yet begun.
Riise, 26, is one of the club's longest-serving players – having been signed by Gerard Houllier from Monaco during the summer of 2001 – and is about to enter the final two years of his existing contract.
With press speculation linking Liverpool with a host of new players the Norwegian could be forgiven for worrying about his future but he admits he's not too concerned.
"I know the manager would have called at once it if was true that he wanted to offload me," said Riise.
"I have had full confidence at Liverpool for six years, and see no reason to stop playing for the club.
"The plan is that we shall talk about a contract extension before the start of next season."
