'Their decision' - James Milner opens up on Liverpool exit with Jurgen Klopp claim

Outgoing Liverpool midfielder James Milner has seemingly revealed Jurgen Klopp wanted him to stay past this season.

The 37-year-old was this week one of four players confirmed to be leaving the club upon the expiration of his contract at the end of June, bringing to an end his impressive eight-year stay at Anfield.

An outstanding professional over the course of his Merseyside stay, Milner deservedly received a guard of honour from the rest of his team-mates after the full-time whistle. Chants of 'there's only one James Milner' soon after rang out around the stadium, offering a clear indication of how highly thought of the 37-year-old is among fans.
