Liverpool are expected to sign Manchester City midfielder James Milner at the end of the season. The People says Milner will quit Manchester City this summer and sign for Liverpool.

It's almost certain he will make the £125,000-a-week switch to Anfield to help plug the gap left by Steven Gerrard's end-of-season exit to LA Galaxy.

Despite the offer of a new contract several weeks ago - as well as efforts by Blues' manager Manuel Pellegrini and director of football Txiki Begiristain to persuade him to stay - sources close to the star were last night saying he will leave at the end of the campaign.
