Joe Allen does not want Liverpool future to affect his Euro 2016 campaign with Wales

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen says his Anfield future rests on the club's pre-season plans and his part in them.

Allen has one year left on his Liverpool contract and former club Swansea are among those monitoring the 26-year-old's situation on Merseyside.

The Wales international spoke to Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre and manager Jurgen Klopp about his future in January when it was agreed that the matter would be put on the back-burner until after his participation at Euro 2016 this summer.

"There was a conversation with the club in terms of what the future did hold for me, if I would feature more or if I would feature in the plans moving forward," Allen said at Wales' pre-Euros training camp in Portugal.

As soon as the season finished with Liverpool I said to myself, 'I don't want to have any distractions and I am fully focussed and engaged on purely all things Wales'

"They made it clear at that stage I wouldn't be moving anywhere.

"I knew where I stood, and it was good to have that conversation and know that I had the second half of the season to look forward to with Liverpool.

"As soon as the season finished with Liverpool I said to myself, 'I don't want to have any distractions and I am fully focussed and engaged on purely all things Wales'.

"That's where I am at the moment.

"We have had an intense season and I'm sure there will be a week or two after the Euros before any discussions are had."

Liverpool spent £15m on Allen in August 2012 when former Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers returned to his old club for the Welshman's services.

Allen, however, has had a mixed time on Merseyside, making over 130 appearances but regularly targeted for criticism from Liverpool fans until impressing under Klopp in recent months.

He made only one Barclays Premier League appearance before Christmas, but enjoyed more game-time in the second half of the season as Liverpool reached the Capital One Cup and Europa League finals.
