The agent of Martin Skrtel admits they're seeking assurances from Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers over his role in the new manager's plans.
Karol Cstonto, the Slovak's agent, admitted Skrtel - who is interesting big-spending Russians Anzhi Makhachkala - needs to meet Rodgers before committing to Merseyside.
Cstonto revealed: "Some changes have been made at the club and he wants to know what the aims and ambitions are. And of course, we will discuss the issue of Martin's new contract.
"Liverpool is a big club and just because they haven't made the Champions League this year doesn't mean they would not do it next year. There are expectations on both sides, though."
