Martin Skrtel has assured Liverpool fans he's committed to the cause.

The defender says negotiations over his new contract have started.

He told Liverpool's website: "There is always talk about my position and my future.

"Almost every single transfer window there is always talk about myself leaving Liverpool and interest from other clubs.

"But as it stands, I still have a contract with Liverpool, I have an offer from Liverpool and we'll see where we finish [with those talks].

"I am fully committed to Liverpool."
