Maxi looks to stay at Anfield


Liverpool's Argentinian winger, Maxi Rodriguez, says he is happy at the Merseyside club and wants to see out the remaining 2 years on his contract.


Maxi, who has scored 4 goals in his last 2 games, including a hat-trick in Liverpool's 5-0 over Birmingham 2 weeks ago, has been in fine form for the Reds as they push for a Europa League place. With Liverpool's win over Newcastle, thanks to a goal from Maxi, they leapfrogged Tottenham for 5th place, their highest position all season.


Rodriguez arrived in January of 2010 from Athletico Madrid and has two years remaining on his current deal, two years which Maxi plans on seeing out. With rumors of a clear out in the Liverpool squad, many feel Rodriguez could be one of the many to go.



“I am really happy here,” said Maxi.
 “The people have treated us really well. The type of life we have here, the way of life, is very different to what we were used to after nine years in Spain but I am enjoying everything.
“How can you not enjoy it? I am at a great club and it is great to play here.”

If Maxi can maintain his current form for the remainder of the season I see no reason why Liverpool wouldn't finish 5th. It also couldn't hurt Maxi's case to stay beyond this season. Despite not making a huge impact since arriving from Athletico Madrid, Rodriguez has been in some good form during patches of the season.
With Liverpool looking to rejuvenate the squad this summer, and wide players a high priority, time will only tell what the future holds for Maxi.
