Kolo Toure to be released by Liverpool

Liverpool have decided against offering Kolo Toure a contract extension, meaning he will leave the club this summer.

The club are yet to officially confirm the decision, but it is believed they have already informed the Premier League.

Some in the club's hierarchy want to keep the 35-year-old at the club in a 'non-playing' role, however the player has expressed his desire to keep playing. 

Toure has reportedly been approached by clubs in France and China over a potential move.
