Liverpool have confirmed that James Milner will sign for them on a free transfer from Manchester City.
The England international turned down a new £165,000-a-week deal at the Etihad Stadium and will now move to Anfield, having held positive talks this week.
“The Reds have agreed personal terms with the England international, who will join the club on a free transfer on July 1 after his contract at the Etihad Stadium has expired,” a club statement read.
Milner will become Brendan Rodgers’ first signing, after the Northern Irishman was told he would not be sacked, in a meeting with Liverpool chairman Tom Werner and Fenway Sports Group chief executive Mike Gordon this week.
