The 20-year-old had put negotiations on hold during the season, revealing in an unsanctioned interview that he is not motivated by money, and would review his situation at the end of the campaign, according to BBC Sport.

With only our game against Stoke ahead, BBC Sport also report that the England international will now meet with Rodgers and Ian Ayre on Friday, where he will inform them of his intention to leave.

Unsurprisingly, the news has received a hostile reaction from Liverpool fans. Rather than be concerned about losing the player himself, much of the anger has been directed at the way he has handled himself off the pitch this season, culminating in this latest dig at the club that gave him his chance.
