Daniel Agger Returns to Brondby
Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is to end his eight-and-a-half-year stay at the Anfield stadium by moving back to his former club, Brondby.
Agger moved to Anfield in January 2006 from the Danish club for a £6m fee and has made over 200 appearances for the Reds since then.
Agger said: “Liverpool have been such a big part of my life and my family’s lives for so long, that leaving is extremely difficult.”
Though he was often a first choice centre-back during much of his time on Merseyside, Agger made just 20 English Premier League appearances last season as he was susceptible to injuries through his career.
Despite reports linking the 29-year-old Dane with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid or Barcelona over the summer, he was adamant that he would only leave Liverpool for a return to the club where he made his name.
He continued: “I wouldn’t leave [Liverpool] to go anywhere else. I have turned down many offers to move to other Premier League and European clubs.
“The opportunity arose for me to return home to Brondby and at this stage of my career it felt like the right decision for me,” Agger added. “I wouldn’t leave here to go anywhere else and that has been proven by my actions in recent seasons – I have turned down many offers to move to other Premier League and European clubs.”
