Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will leave the club when his current contract expires at the end of the season.
According to the BBC, the 34-year-old will seek opportunities abroad and will not join another English club.
Gerrard made his debut for his boyhood club in 1998.
His former long-time team-mate Jamie Carragher reacted to the news on Twitter:
Sad day for Lfc & English football with the Gerrard news, I think it's the right decision all things considered.

Leaving or retiring is a great confidence booster, this morning my timeline was full of "whys Gerrard starting" now it's "Gerrard best ever"

Gerrard has won the Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup while at Anfield.
