The German midfielder, whose Liverpool contract expires at the end of next season, has been quoted as saying he would consider a move back to his former club, Bayern Munich.

But speaking at the German training camp in Portugal, he insists the quotes were taken out of context.

"I like Liverpool very much and I would like to stay there," he said. "All I said is if Bayern made an offer, I would consider it.

"When you have only one year left in your contract, it is only normal that you consider other options.

"We haven't started talking about an extension with Liverpool but we will do it shortly."
