Goalkeeper Scott Carson has called for Liverpool to place a realistic price tag on his head as he revealed his desire to sort out his long-term future.
Carson spent the 2007-2008 campaign on loan to Aston Villa in a £1.5million deal after having previously experienced similar spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton.
Villa manager Martin O'Neill is considering his goalkeeping options for next season with Thomas Sorensen poised to leave now that his contract has come to an end.
There has been speculation that Rafael Benitez will be asking around £10million for Carson.
The England keeper said: 'It's too much (Liverpool's valuation). It's stupid money really. You pay £10million for a goalkeeper who is 27, 28 and the finished article.
'So hopefully, they can help me out and if there is a sniff of going somewhere, then hopefully they will respect my wishes and help me that way.'
