Lucas Leiva set to leave Anfield

The Liverpool midfielder is set to join Besiktas on a season-long loan

Brendan Rodgers told the Brazilian he is surplus to requirements at the club.
Lucas has fallen down the pecking order recently with Emre Can being preferred in the defensive midfield role.

Playing Time

The Reds signed the 28-year-old seven years ago but over the last two season, playing time has been hard to come by for him.

Although the club were looking to offload the midfielder on a permanent basis, it seems he will be off to Besiktas for the season.
