Liverpool signed three new midfielders this summer: Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam for a total of around £50million. The Reds have now an overcrowded midfield with the newcomers joining Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole, Raul Meireles, Alberto Aquilani, Christian Poulsen, Maxi Rodriguez, Jonjo Shelvey, Jay Spearing and Milan Jovanovic.
A source told the Sun that Lucas was on his way out because he didn’t want to sit on the bench. “Lucas only signed a new deal in March and was voted Player of the Year by the fans. But the word is he is leaving and that will shock a lot of people, especially after he played so well last season,” the source told the British tabloid.
