# Liverpool: Kevin Campbell thrilled by James Milner contract development

**Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/james-milner-pundit-issues-huge-liverpool-contract-verdict-after-romano-update/), pundit Kevin Campbell of [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12530095/arsenal-are-playing-russian-roulette) has been left thrilled by a James Milner contract development at Liverpool.**

### The Lowdown: Milner offered new deal…

The Englishman, who has proved a [useful and versatile player](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/4511/Show/James-Milner) for manager Jurgen Klopp in recent seasons, has apparently been offered fresh terms.

According to transfer journalist [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1493539909776334849?s=21), the Anfield side have tabled a one-year extension offer for Milner with talks now ‘underway’ over a possible agreement.

Klopp personally wants the 36-year-old to further his stay on Merseyside with Campbell sharing his reaction to his news.

### The Latest: Campbell thrilled…

Speaking to [FI](https://www.footballinsider247.com/james-milner-pundit-issues-huge-liverpool-contract-verdict-after-romano-update/), the ex-Arsenal man has been left thrilled, going to say Milner’s presence is ‘vital’ and could be ‘huge’.

*“It’s vital to keep him around,”* he explained.

*“He’s been a real star for Liverpool. You can play him anywhere on the pitch and he’d do a job for you.*

*“Having someone with that experience, that fitness, someone who knows the culture, can help and nurture the youngsters and new boys – it’s huge.*

*“He’s the glue in that dressing room, and he’s one of the club’s confidants in that squad. When you come across guys like that you’re always desperate to keep them around.*

*“I’m not surprised at all to hear that he’s getting that new contract.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done?

Making 16 Premier League appearances in total with a few cup cameos to boot ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/4511/Show/James-Milner)), Milner could still be a useful player to have around for Klopp – especially if injuries come to pass.

Able to play as a [full-back and across the midfield,](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/4511/Show/James-Milner) the homegrown ace’s years of experience at the top level may well be invaluable and it’s little wonder Liverpool’s boss wants him to remain.

Time will tell whether Milner wants a change of scenery, but his extended stay would certainly come as a boost for the Reds.
