James Milner's switch to Liverpool has been thrown into doubt by the chaos at Anfield.

The Manchester City midfielder was expected to leave the Etihad when his contract expired at the end of the month to move to Anfield on a free.

But doubts over Brendan Rodgers’ long-term future on Merseyside are causing Milner to reassess his options.

City have left a £160,000-a-week contract offer on the table, while Arsenal have also made a play for the England international.

Milner is scheduled to meet with his adviser this week for further discussions about his future.

But it is clear that Liverpool still have some work to do to convince him to commit to the Reds.

Rodgers meets with Mike Gordon, the president of the club’s owners Fenway Sports Group, in the next two weeks. He is widely expected to be given the green light to carry on as Liverpool boss.

But until the outcome of the talks is known for sure, Milner is unwilling to give Liverpool a definitive answer on their offer.
