Adrian San Miguel has reiterated his desire to remain at Liverpool this summer despite rumours of a potential return to Spain.

The 33-year-old took on the role of back-up to Alisson Becker when he joined the Reds in August, but has gone on to make plenty of appearances this season as a result of injuries to his fellow goalkeeper.

Those 18 outings have seen Adrian make a major contribution to a dominant Premier League campaign, play a key role in UEFA Super Cup victory over Chelsea, and even feature in the Champions League knockout stages.

And so the Spaniard, who is believed to be coveted by several clubs back home, is more than happy to stay at Anfield for another year at least.

“I see myself in Liverpool at the moment,” he told Radio Sevilla.

“I still have many years of football left, and we will see. I have one more year and another optional one. Right now I wouldn’t change anything to be here in Liverpool and enjoy this beautiful moment. After this moment I honestly don’t know, football is a lot of fun.

“In the summer, I saw myself, being free, the possibility of returning to Betis was there, but it vanished.

“You have to live the present, and we’ll see what happens next. Having to leave home was complicated but looking at it now with perspective it’s clear that I’ve grown as a professional and as a person.”

Adrian also revealed that he signed a two-year deal with Liverpool last summer, which could be extended into a third should both parties be happy to do so.

“To tell you the truth, now I see it a little more difficult (to return to the Betis),” he added.

“After six seasons at West Ham and being free this past summer, it is true that I saw myself closer to returning home or to Spain and continuing my career there.

“Here I signed two seasons plus an optional one and this has been my first year, which has been fantastic.

“We hope to finish the season if possible, with total security, in the field, but then we don’t know anymore.

“The future is very uncertain; we can’t plan much more about tomorrow and what we have now. If the opportunity is given in the future, God will say.”
