Fabio Aurelio has rejected a play-as-you-pay contract offer from Liverpool Football Club.

The Brazilian is out of contract in the summer, but due to his injury problems, it appears that the Reds want him to accept fresh terms which would be dependent on his appearances.

"Fabio has been really unlucky. When we spoke to him about a contract extension he had an injury and he has had lots of injuries in the past,” Rafael Benitez told the Sunday Mirror.

"We made him an offer and his agent rejected it. Then he suffered another injury and we have had to analyse the situation again. We will talk again in the future.

“He is a good person, a great professional and a great player. Maybe his situation needs to be looked at in a different way and he needs to be realistic."
