Jurgen Klopp was tight-lipped when asked about James Milner’s future prior to Liverpool’s clash with Nottingham Forest last weekend.
The Reds vice-captain is one of a number of players out of contract at Anfield this summer. But while Roberto Firmino has confirmed he will leave the Reds, and Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain look certain to follow, the 37-year-old’s future is a little more uncertain.
With Liverpool plotting a midfield revamp this summer as they look to overhaul an ageing side, it would be understandable if Milner was allowed to move on. Yet, at the same time he remains a valuable and experienced squad player who still contributes to the Reds whenever turned to.
