Darren Bent has said on talkSPORT that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp should just let James Milner leave at the end of the season.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker has said that if Liverpool have to go to the next level, then they cannot rely on former Leeds United and Newcastle United star Milner.
The £120,000-a-week (SalarySport) Englishman is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the season.
And it seems that talkSPORT pundit Bent would like Liverpool to just let Milner leave on a free in the summer of 2023.

HITC Verdict: Time for James Milner to leave Liverpool
In our view, it is time for James Milner to leave Liverpool.
The former Manchester City star will go down in Premier League history as one of the best free signings.
Milner has been superb for the Reds over the years and has played his role in the team winning the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League among other
However, he is 37 now.
Milner is past his prime.
Yes, the former Aston Villa star can still do a job.
And he remains a hugely versatile player who can operate at full-back, as a winger, or in midfield.
However, Liverpool need to move on now and have to bring in a much younger player who can take the place of Milner in the squad.
