Liverpool are set to let Adam Lallana leave in the summer when the England midfielder's contract runs out.

There are no talks taking place between the European champions and the 31-year-old over a new deal and he will be available on a free transfer.

Lallana, who has been linked with Leicester City,external-link moved to Anfield for £25m in 2014.

He was signed from Southampton by then-Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, who is now in charge of the Foxes.

Lallana has played 13 times for Liverpool in the league this season, scoring once.

His only goal this season was against Manchester United, when his equaliser maintained the club's unbeaten record.

Lallana's time at Anfield has been hampered by injuries in the past two seasons but he was a key part of Jurgen Klopp's side in the early days of the German manager's reign.

He helped the Reds win the Champions League last season and has scored 18 times in 126 league games for the club.

    Fair play. Adam has been a good servant to Liverpool. He's far too good to spend his career on the bench. Good luck mate. #YNWA

    Great servant of the club. Has played well just chances are limited now and a good time to move on after winning a premier league winners medal.

    He'll be a good signing for most of the top 10.

    There's no shame in being surplus to requirements for this current Liverpool side. Hopefully he can spend the rest of his career injury free, and get some regular game time.

    To be fair he's struggled with injuries and fallen down the pecking order over the last couple of seasons.

    Will never forget his late goal at Old Trafford to keep the unbeaten run going! YNWA Adam

    Great player who will do well at his next club with regular playing time. Been a good servant to Liverpool and never complains about his lot from what I see.

    As someone else, said, a few years back he was probably our best player (and England's actually) but has been hampered by injuries since then.

    Since then he's been a great squad player and still had some big moments that have helped Liverpool get to where they are. And hasn't thrown his toys out of the pram when not playing regularly.

    I wish him well wherever he goes

    Shame about Lallana going. He's been a good servant of the club and, despite injuries, has played well when he's had a run.

    The team has, unfortunately for him, just outgrown him.

    A shame but fair. With Minomina and Curtis Jones knocking at the door, sadly Lallana is replaceable now.

    Very unlucky with injuries, and took a while to settle, but talented, had some good spells and gave it his all.

    Thanks Lallana, all the best for the future.

    Think Leicester would be a perfect match match for Al. Still has a lot to offer however difficult to get back in to the Pool team as they are littered with brilliant players. Seems like a nice lad. Wish him success in his new job.

    Without him we would not have an unbeaten record this season....and to make it worse we would have lost to MU. Adam respect.

    A loyal servant, Liverpool letting him run down his contract to a free is to be applauded.

    If he does go to Leicester (or anywhere else in the summer), I'd just like to say thank you Adam Lallana for your dedication and service to Liverpool football club.

    Fantastic player in his prime and when fit for Liverpool. Unfortunately, he was rarely fit in the latter years of his time at the club. Can play with both feet, great footwork and loves a Cruyff turn - will be a good addition to any PL side outside the top 6.

    He sould sign for Glasgow Rangers no doubt he'd get a warm Scouse welcome, he'd last another decade in the SPL. Look at Defore and David Weir, plus you get to play in Europe.
