City target happy to stay

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has revealed he wants to stay at Anfield amid talk of Manchester City making a bid for him.

The Denmark international has been the subject of plenty of transfer speculation recently after reports suggested City had made two enquiries about the 27-year-old. The Reds are thought to have told the Premier League champion they would reluctantly sell if they were offered £22million as they feared losing Agger on a free when his contract expired in two years. Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers had admitted he was open to the idea, with reports suggesting he would push it through if City offered Adam Johnson as part of the package. However, Agger has now spoken out about his future and says he wants to stay at Anfield, although he says he may be forced to move on if Liverpool want to sell. "I'd rather stay," Agger told Danish newspaper Politiken. "I can't imagine playing for any other club in England but you never know if the club think it's better to sell. "Liverpool can do a deal even though I have two years on my contract, but I haven't changed my mind on the subject. "Sometimes you can end up in a position where it's not your decision. "I don't want to be somewhere I am not wanted but I would prefer if they want me to stay. That is my priority."
