The Frenchman has been a key player for the Reds over the past few years, but he has decided to pursue a new challenge. He was close to penning a new deal beyond the summer back in April, but negotiations have since broken down.

As a result, he has decided to walk away on a free transfer and could join another Premier League side this summer. The Blues are yet to make a formal contract offer to the player and new manager Xabi Alonso could have the final say.
