Dejan Lovren has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool.
The 27-year-old is approaching the end of his third season with the club, having signed from Southampton in July 2014, and has since clocked up 105 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals.
"I think this is one special day for me and my family," said the centre-back.
"I think I am the happiest guy [in the world] today, it's another dream come true. It was always my dream to stay as long as possible at one club that I love - and that is Liverpool.
"After all that happened in the beginning, in the last two seasons I think I've done better than in the first season. The club has rewarded me, they believed in me and also the fans, and this is what I respect a lot after everything that happened.
"I am pleased with everything and I just want to stay here as long as possible and be a part of this family for many, many years to come."
Lovren has made 28 appearances for Liverpool so far this season, scoring twice, and manager Jurgen Klopp was pleased to extend his deal despite a shaky performance against Crystal Palace recently.
"In a situation like this I know how football supporters think: if you had asked them after the Dortmund game they would have said 'Give him a 20-year contract'," said the Reds boss.
"When you see the Crystal Palace game they think 'Can we find another team who could have him?'.
"The truth is in between. In a situation like this, you have to look outside."
