Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool dressing room in agreement on James Milner's Anfield departure

Jurgen Klopp has admitted he wanted to carry on working with James Milner ahead of the veteran midfielder's Anfield exit.

The former England international, 37, will leave Liverpool when his contract expires in the summer. Milner is expected to complete a free transfer to Brighton, who are hoping to qualify for the Europa League. They are currently sixth in the Premier League table.

Milner joined Liverpool in July 2015, just five months before Klopp arrived as manager. The former Manchester City star has played a vital role in Liverpool's success under Klopp - winning seven trophies - and the German will be sad to see him leave next month.
