Liverpool release five players

Liverpool have submitted their free transfers list to the Premier League ahead of next season.

Being placed on this list does not necessarily mean a player is leaving; they can still negotiate new deals with the club.

The Reds have placed five players on this list, here’s a brief summary of all five:

Steven Gerrard

So, this one isn’t a surprise! Steven Gerrard’s time at Liverpool finally came to an end after an unbelievable career.

The ex-captain is joining MLS side LA Galaxy next season.

Glen Johnson

Liverpool signed Johnson from Portsmouth in 2009, and initially played well.

However in recent years, Johnson’s performances have been poor, and it’s no suprise that he’s being released.

Brad Jones

Another release we knew of ahead of time. Jones revealed he was leaving earlier this year. Origianlly it was reported that he’d been offered a new deal, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

Jones was given a chance to stake a claim for a first team spot during the 2014/15 season, but he didn’t perform well and was unable to get back into the side after returning from injury.

Jordan Lussey

Jordan Lussey has been at the Liverpool Academy since 2002 and was a regular member of the Under-21 team. He joined Bolton Wanderers on a youth loan deal until the end of the 2014-15 season.

The 20-year-old is a former Under-18s captain, but looks like he’s leaving Liverpool.

Big thankyou to everyone for their kind messages. I loved every minute of my 13 years at @LFC. I'm looking forward to the future.
