James Milner waiting to open Liverpool contract talks

James Milner is waiting to open new contract talks with Liverpool.

Milner's contract runs out at the end of the season but he will be free to talk to foreign clubs in 85 days.

The Daily Mail says Liverpool have yet to open formal talks about extending his stay at Anfield.

Meanwhile, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers, who signed Milner for the Reds reveale: "It's really, really interesting because he wanted to come to Liverpool. He had won the Premier League, he had won cups.

"His whole ambition was to win the Champions League and he felt he'd have a better opportunity to win it at Liverpool, with how we were working and the (history of the) club. He made the decision. I knew it was going to be a tough one. He was building a house out that way in Manchester."
