Liverpool defender Fabio Aurelio is leaving the Premier League club after rejecting a pay-as-you-play deal.
The Brazilian's four-year career at Liverpool has been blighted by injuries and this season ended prematurely in February with a thigh problem. Because of his fitness record, the club offered the 30-year-old Aurelio a flexible contract based on the matches he played.
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez said Tuesday that "we had been trying to work something out with regards an extension but it was a pity that we couldn't."
Benitez added that "the one problem we had with Fabio was that he suffered too many injuries and it was such a pity because he has great quality."
