Liverpool manager Klopp coy over Milner talk for Brighton

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had no comment regarding the future of James Milner.

The veteran, who is out of contract at the club in the summer, is set to leave when the season concludes.

Per Fabrizio Romano and other sources, Milner has agreed a one-year contract with Brighton.

Asked by reporters about the situation, Klopp stated: "No (nothing to say). Milly I can say, over the years and months that I had really good conversations with him.

"He knows how highly I value him. He's an incredible part of this team and I would have loved to have work together with him even longer.

"What exactly the outcome will be of his decision, I think Milly will say that at one point. I'm not sure if it happened already or not, I'm not really aware of that.

"Nothing else to say from me but nothing will change. I've said it a couple of times, what happened over the past seven and a half years, all the positive things, none of it would happen without James Milner."
