Fábio Aurelio will leave Liverpool after four years of “fantastic service” after the club and player failed to agree on a new contract.
The Brazilian’s contract was set to expire next week, but the two parties have been unable to come to an agreement over a new deal.
Rafael BenÃÂtez hailed 30-year-old’s contribution during his four-year spell at Anfield.
“Fábio is a top professional, a great player and a really good lad. I mean every single word I say about him,” said BenÃÂtez.
“It has been a pleasure having him here and we really will miss him.”
The left back struggled with injuries during his initial years at Anfield, but he appeared regularly in the 2008-09 campaign, making some vital contributions to the club’s best ever Premier League finish.
He will be best remembered for his free-kick at Old Trafford which helped the Reds to a famous 4-1 victory over their rivals.
Unfortunately the 30-year-old spent most of last season injured and only made 21 appearances in all competitions.
Aurelio had previously worked under BenÃÂtez when both player and manager were employed by Valencia.
