A fan favourite among the Anfield faithful but Kolo Toure is facing his final day as a Liverpool player.
It’s understood that the club has decided not to renew Toure’s contract, meaning he will be free to move on to another side in the summer.
Toure made 71 appearances for Liverpool since signing from Manchester City in 2013 and although he may be past his prime, Reds fans grew to love him.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Toure is on a list of players whose exits are expected to be confirmed today along with the likes of Jose Enrique, Jerome Sinclair and Jordan Rossiter.

The former Ivory Coast international had battled his way into Jurgen Klopp’s good books last season, ending up as first-choice central defensive partner to Dejan Lovren, but he’s not part of Klopp’s plans for the future.
Monaco are believed to be interested in offering the 35-year-old a contract when his free agent status is confirmed and, with last-ditch tackles like this one still in him, it’s easy to see why.
