“James Milner, 37, set for surprising Premier League transfer from Liverpool – Fans shocked”

Liverpool fans were left in shock after hearing that James Milner, a legend of the club, is being tipped to join high-flying Premier League rivals Brighton at the age of 37. The ex-England midfielder is set to become a free agent this summer, despite still being loved by Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp for his versatility. David Ornstein of The Athletic believes Brighton are favourites ahead of Burnley to land the former Manchester City star. Fans took to social media to express their surprise at the news. Milner has won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in his eight years at Anfield. Before that, he helped City lift the top-flight crown twice, as well as tasting victory in the FA Cup and EFL Cup. It is now thought likely that he’ll join fellow ex-Liverpool star Adam Lallana, 34, at the Amex Stadium. Klopp would prefer to keep Milner, but there’s been “no indication” of Reds’ chiefs proposing a new contract. Brighton must wait until his current deal expires before making any approach. However, the Seagulls are said to have discussed the signing “internally” and regard him as an ideal recruit for manager Roberto De Zerbi’s passing style. Liverpool fans appeared divided over Milner’s possible departure, with some hoping to keep him and others suggesting a cheeky exchange deal for Brighton’s much-wanted Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
