A shocking twist has emerged at Anfield as a key Liverpool figure has revealed he feels set up to be the scapegoat.
The player, believing his position is under threat from a potential new signing, has already agreed personal terms with one of Liverpool’s fiercest rivals — a club he says truly values him.
In a candid statement, he admitted that seeing the Reds target a player with the potential to replace him was the final straw. He has officially requested to leave before the transfer window closes, insisting he would rather go now than spend the season watching his career fade from the bench.
The news has sparked outrage among supporters, many of whom are furious about his decision to join a direct rival.
Fans argue that keeping him would be far better than signing the newcomer who may not have the same proven quality. This developing story has left emotions running high on Merseyside.
