The Uruguayan has been pivotal for the club this year during a transition under Brendan Rodgers, firing the goals to keep them in the hunt for a Champions League spot.

"I hope [to be at Liverpool] for a very long time because it’s a massive club that kids dream about playing for", he told his club’s official site.

"I’ve been very proud to be at a club like Liverpool and to have made the decision to come here. In two years I’ve lived through some spectacular and very special moments that I will never, ever forget."
