Liverpool's city rivals Everton made a late attempt to sign James Milner this month.

The England midfielder is set to sign for Brighton and Hove Albion on a free transfer.

After spending eight years at Liverpool, where he won nearly every available trophy, Milner is set for a new adventure.

Football Insider claims the 37-year-old could have signed for Everton, but turned down the offer.

Other clubs chasing his signature include Burnley, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest.

While his move to Brighton is not done, it is all but confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and other reputable sources.
