Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva admits he doesn’t know if he has a future at Anfield.

Lucas is the club’s longest-serving player after arriving from Gremio in 2007, and is poised to begin his 10th season with the Reds.

However, he started just eight Premier League games since the turn of the year and was an unused substitute in the Europa League final defeat to Sevilla last month.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has already brought in one new midfielder in Marko Grujic and is also chasing Poland international Piotr Zielinski and Borussia Moenchengladbach’s Mahmoud Dahoud.

Lucas has become accustomed to being linked each summer with a move away from Liverpool and was close to joining Besiktas last August until a change of heart from then-manager Brendan Rodgers.

And the 29-year-old says he will discover more when he returns to Merseyside this week ahead of the squad reconvening at Melwood on Saturday to start pre-season training.

“There have been some changes last season, with the coaching change,” said the Brazilian, speaking to Radio Joven Pan.

“I still do not know exactly what will be my role within the group, but I am returning (to England) on Thursday to start the pre-season.

“It is the first transfer window in which Klopp will participate more actively in Liverpool, so I’ll just get a better idea when I return.

“Whatever happens, the idea, as always, is to stay in Europe, especially in England, which has a very strong and good league to play.”

Liverpool have a plethora of central midfield options with Jordan Henderson, Emre Can, James Milner and Joe Allen all at Klopp’s disposal.

However, with no European football next season, the Reds boss is considering pruning his squad with Allen in particular attracting interest from elsewhere.
