Brighton 'want to sign James Milner on a FREE transfer' when his Liverpool contract expires at the end of the season - but Jurgen Klopp is keen to keep the veteran as he plots a summer rebuild in midfield

Brighton are hoping to sign Liverpool midfielder James Milner on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer, according to reports.

Jurgen Klopp is eager to keep the 37-year-old veteran at Anfield as he plots to rebuild Liverpool's midfield in the upcoming transfer window, but no contract agreement between Milner and the Red chiefs has yet been made.

Although Premier League clubs cannot approach the player until the summer, Brighton have held internal talks and plan to launch a swoop for the former England international at the end of the season, according to The Athletic.
