Former England national team and Premier League 3rd-placed club striker Robbie Fowler confirmed that his contract with the "Reds" will not be extended after the end of this season.
Liverpool team star's contract expires this summer, and the club's head coach Rafael Benitez told him that he is free to leave the team.
"I never thought about my future when I leave Liverpool," the 32-year-old footballer told the Liverpool Echo. - "This week the coach explained the whole situation to me, and to be honest, I was not surprised at all."
R. Fowler will play for the last time at the "Anfield" stadium for the team in the final Premier League matches against London on this Sunday, and he may wear the "Reds" jersey for the last time on May 23 in the UEFA Champions League final in Athens.
"It will obviously be an emotional day for me, but I want everyone to know that I am focusing on the remaining two very important matches for the club," added the Englishman. - "First of all, I want to perform well in the match against Charlton to help the team secure the third place, and then I will prepare for the UEFA Champions League final."
"I will think about everything else after these events because I don't want anyone to interfere with it as important matches await me," the player said. - "But everyone knows that I give my all in every Liverpool match, and the last two matches will be no exception."
R. Fowler returned to the "Reds" eleven in January last year - four years ago, he left the team due to disagreements with the former coach Gerard Houlier. This season, the Englishman scored 7 goals.
"I think this time I will have the opportunity to say goodbye, as I was not allowed to do it last time," said the Liverpool team legend. - "Since I returned to Liverpool, all the fans have supported me amazingly, and it was much better than the first time. I will never forget the support they gave me, and for that, I am extremely grateful to them. I hope to score a few goals in the Champions League final. It would be a fantastic end to the season."
