Liverpool veteran defender has suggested he will retire from the game at the end of the season, according to the Daily Express.

The 34-year-old has played more than 700 games for the club he joined as a schoolboy, including over 500 in the Premier League, but his contract expires next summer and it appears increasingly unlikely that he will be offered a new deal.

Carragher has rarely featured under Brendan Rodgers this season as the new manager has preferred the youth of Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger in central defence.

The Scouse cult hero also admitted he has no intention of playing for another club.

“There is a chance that I will retire at the end of the season,” Carragher told the Daily Express.

“It is the last season of my contract and the club have not said anything to me yet.

“I am open-minded, but I would not play on if I was killing the team when I played. I would not be hanging on for money or anything.

“And I would not go anywhere else. It is Liverpool or nothing for me.”

Meanwhile, Thomas Ince’s move back to Liverpool from Blackpool has hit a new problem – over a 10 per cent pay-off for the young star.
