Carragher 'to get new Reds deal'

Liverpool are set to offer defender Jamie Carragher a contract extension, according to newspaper reports.

The 27-year-old, who has two years left on his current deal, has impressed Reds boss Rafael Benitez with his consistent form this season.

His contract is now likely to be extended by up to three years in a new deal reportedly worth £40,000 a week.

Liverpool have already indicated they are willing to enter negotiations with Carragher's representatives, SFX.

Carragher won his 17th cap in England's friendly against Holland last week, with Benitez subsequently heaping praise on the defender.

Benitez said on Friday that Carragher "is the best central defender in England at the moment.

"Jamie is playing very well and has been all season. He is a very important player for us.

"He is a very good player with the strength and character every manager would want."

Been under-rated for years, but never gives less than 100%. Good to see him recognized.

Wish the rest of the team showed as much determination to win, and pride in wearing the Liverpool shirt.
