Glen Johnson hints at Liverpool exit

Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has hinted that he could leave the Anfield club after revealing that contract negotiations have gone "very quiet".

The England right-back will be available as a Bosman in the summer but can agree terms with a foreign club as early as January 1.

Johnson is said to have been offered a one-year extension earlier this year, but the player himself is reported to be keen on a longer deal.

Asked what the state of play was, the 30-year-old said: "Very quiet," he told the Guardian.

"I am just concentrating week by week and not thinking about it. Of course I want to stay but, like I say, I worry about this week, this week, and then next week, next week. That is how I live my life."

The 30-year-old has clocked up 175 appearances for the Reds since joining from Portsmouth in 2009.
