Fabrizio Romano has now shared some transfer news coming from Liverpool – he has even added his trademark “here we go” to the announcement.
The summer transfer window is not even officially open yet.
Nevertheless, that has not prevented this particular bit of business from going through, with the reliable Italian journalist sharing the news on Twitter.
Liverpool Transfer News
Well – according to Romano – James Milner has signed for Brighton.
The 37-year-old has penned a 12-month contract with the Seagulls, which brings an end to his eight years at Liverpool.
You can see Romano’s tweet in full below.
Milner’s contract at Liverpool was set to expire in a matter of weeks anyway, with his current terms at Anfield ending in June.
Jürgen Klopp said in his press conference earlier on Friday that he would love to keep working with the England international, and has held “really good conversations” with the Liverpool No.7 – presumably about staying on Merseyside.
Nevertheless, Romano rarely gets it wrong – especially when he uses his trademark “here we go” to announce some news – so we would expect Milner to leave Liverpool for Brighton, despite what Klopp said.
James Milner will be a big loss for Liverpool
On the pitch, Liverpool fans probably won’t be too bothered about losing Milner – he has only made six Premier League starts this season.
However – behind the scenes – the Yorkshireman will be a huge loss.
Klopp also conceded that a lot of the success Liverpool have experienced in the past seven years would not have happened without Milner by his side.
The Leeds-born midfield maestro is a model professional and also a true leader, so his input in the dressing room and at the AXA Training Ground will be sorely missed by the Reds.
Be sure to keep an eye on the situation, as Milner now looks set to join Brighton.
