Agger brushes aside Barcelona links

Denmark international Daniel Agger has brushed aside speculation linking him with a move away from Anfield this summer and revealed that he is content with life at Liverpool.

The 28 year old has been on the wishlist of La Liga champions Barcelona after Thiago Silva committed his long term future to his current club Paris Saint Germain. However, after having spent eight seasons at the Mersey side club, Agger has revealed that he has no intentions of leaving the club.


"I've said it so many times; I like it here and my family like it here. Not only the football but also living here, we fit in here and that's important for me," Agger told the Liverpool Echo.


"Take the tour to Asia this summer - that shows how big a club this is. You could say we haven't been good enough in the last couple of years to achieve what we want to.


"But that's definitely something I will try to help to change because this club belongs at the top.


"Everywhere we travel it's the same. The amount of people who were there was unbelievable, especially when you consider how we haven't performed in the last couple of years. You have to respect that."
