Liverpool allow Jose Enrique to leave before end of contract

Liverpool's Spanish defender Jose Enrique

Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has been told he is no longer required by the club and has been given permission to talk to other teams.

The 30-year-old Spaniard has one month left on his £65,000-a-week contract but has been informed he does not need to report for training.

Enrique failed to secure a first-team place following the arrival of Jurgen Klopp in October and has made just three senior appearances all season.
