Liverpool midfielder Joao Carlos Teixeira will not be signing a new contract with the club when his current deal expires at the end of June, per the Liverpool Echo.





The 23-year-old Portuguese found playing time limited under Jurgen Klopp during the season, and doesn't expect things to change, as the club should be pushing for more midfield talent in the weeks to come.

The player is very likely to join Fiorentina, with reports in Italy claiming that an agreement has already been reached with Serie A side Fiorentina.





Back in January, Klopp had hinted that Teixeira could be leaving the club.









Speaking to the media (via This Is Anfield) after a 3-0 win over Exeter in the third round of the FA Cup, the German said: “I like Joao. As a person, as a footballer. B ut of course, players like him need matches, and if you can’t get it then you have to leave.”





The player echoed his manager's words, claiming that he was frustrated with life on the bench.





“I haven’t played much. I’ve been on the bench a lot and I don’t like that,” he said.





“I’ve played five times for the first team and I’ve scored my first goal at Anfield which is special. It’s been good, but I need to play more."





Kolo Toure, Christian Benteke and Adam Bogdan could be leaving Anfield as well.
