Carragher is in talks with the Reds over a new deal and admits he can't contemplate life away from Anfield.

"I never want to leave Liverpool and I hope I can get my contract sorted out as quickly as possible," he said.

"I want to stay here for the rest of my career. I'm not interested in this new FIFA rule where players can buy themselves out of their contracts. I know it's there but I don't know anything about it because it's something I wouldn't do.

"My ambition is to wear that red shirt as long as I can and I'd be absolutely gutted if I ever had to leave."

Carragher is preparing for the Reds' biggest game for two years against AC Milan on Wednesday night and he insists there will be a lot of envious people watching events unfold at the Olympic Stadium.

"United and Chelsea finished the season 20 points ahead of us, so there's no way I'm going to say we are better than they are.

"But I think Chelsea would swap what they've done this season for a place in the Champions League final.

"Manchester United hadn't won the league for a few years and they were desperate to get the title back, so that was their priority.

"But I am sure they will be watching on Wednesday night thinking of what could have been for them as well.

"The main thing in football is winning. Winners are the ones people remember. And I'm sure Arsene Wenger would swap places with Rafael Benitez right now even though Arsenal are supposed to be a team who play the best football anyone has ever seen."
