The 37-year-old is ready to leave Anfield in the summer, despite Jurgen Klopp's desire to keep him in the team for next season. Milner is set to end his eight-year deal with the Merseyside club at the end of the current season. As soon as the player becomes a free agent, the Seagulls will start working on signing a contract with him.
