Departing Liverpool veteran James Milner has hinted at disagreement between the board and manager Jurgen Klopp over his status.
Milner is leaving Anfield as his contract runs down.
He told LFCTV ahead of their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa: "It would be a shame to stop when you've still got a bit of life in you.
"Jurgen Klopp is a pretty good manager and the fact he still wanted me here and said I can still do a job is pleasing. I haven't started a load of games this year, but I feel like I have contributed when I have been asked to.
"The club obviously made their decision on that. It's nice I'm in a position where the manager wanted me to stay, but it got to the point where I got to terms [with it]."
