Liverpool have confirmed that they will sign Manchester City midfielder James Milner on a free transfer.
The 29-year-old held positive talks with the Merseyside club this week and rejected a new £165,000-a-week deal at the Etihad Stadium - as reported by Sportsmail on Wednesday.
The news is a major boost for Brendan Rodgers, who has come under fire after Liverpool dropped down to sixth place in the Premier League and missed out on the Champions League.
Milner is thought to have penned a deal worth a basic wage of around £110,000 a week at Anfield.
A Liverpool statement read:'The Reds have agreed personal terms with the England international, who will join the club on a free transfer on July 1 after his contract at the Etihad Stadium has expired.
