Schalke 04 defender Sead Kolasinac reveals that he wants to sign a contract extension at his current club, despite reported interest from Liverpool.

Schalke 04 defender Sead Kolasinac has played down reports linking him with a summer move to Liverpool.

The 22-year-old, who has also been linked with Manchester City, is believed to be one of Liverpool's leading transfer targets ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.

However, the 11-time Bosnia and Herzegovina international, who joined Schalke from Stuttgart in 2010, has revealed that he wants to extend his contract with his current club.

"At Schalke I found a second home and my desire is to renew the contract," Kolasinac told Sky Sports News.

The left-sided full-back, who is contracted to his Bundesliga team until the summer of 2017, has made 26 appearances for Schalke this season, scoring one goal.
