Didi Hamman has today signed a new deal that could keep him at Anfield for the next two years. The German, nicknamed ‘The Kaiser has agreed a one year deal with an option for the club of a second year.
Did has won every domestic medal possible with Liverpool except one. The Premiership title.
He said :
"Now I want to complete my Anfield medal collection."
"Once Liverpool made me an offer, there was only one place I wanted to play my football," Hamann told the ECHO today. "I always said the first club I would speak to about my future was Liverpool because I wanted to stay.
"The gaffer said we would wait until after the final before we had a meeting and that's what we did. We came to an agreement instantly. I'll be here next season and hopefully for the next two years.
"I'm delighted the manager wanted to keep me. I read a lot about other clubs being interested, but I couldn't imagine playing for any club in England. "
After the Champions League triumph in May, Hamann insists nothing should be ruled out as supporters ponder a seemingly unlikely title challenge next season.
He said: "It's going to be hard to challenge for the title in the next two seasons, but let's give it a go. The Premiership is the only club competition I haven't won since I joined Liverpool. I'm desperate for us to do it.
"The manager has achieved great things already by winning the Champions League and I know he's planning to bring in new players for next season.
"If we can settle quickly and everyone starts working together tactically early on, who knows what can happen? Who would have predicted we would win the Champions League a year ago?
"Maybe we can surprise the top three. It's going to be tough to do that, but I think we'll improve a lot."
Hamann is currently having treatment for a broken bone in his foot, suffered during the final against AC Milan.
