Schmadtke was asked about his future during an interview with Sky Sports in Germany. He said: "We're waiting until the end of August. We've signed an annual contract, but have the opportunity to ask each other in August, are we both still sure or not. If someone isn't sure, then we shake hands and I might get a ticket if I want to stop by." Schmadtke was then asked if he will be celebrating his 60th birthday on Merseyside in March. He replied: "It could be!" Liverpool fans will be hoping Schmadtke stays at the club after a good start to the transfer window. Mac Allister and Szoboszlai are both exciting signings, with more players expected to join. Finding a new holding midfielder could be one of Schmadtke's priorities.
