Liverpool hero signsDietmar Hamann has signed a new one-year deal at Anfield, with a further one-year option.
The German international, who started 30 league games this season, has agreed to remain with the Reds after receiving offers from a number of other clubs.
However, Hamann told the Liverpool Echo newspaper: "Once Liverpool made me an offer, there was only one place I wanted to play my football."
He added: "I always said the first club I would speak to about my future was Liverpool because I wanted to stay.
"The manager 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'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."
