Hyypia agrees deal with Leverkusen
Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia will leave the club in the summer after agreeing a two-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen.
The 35-year old joined the Reds from Willem II Tilburg ten years ago for £2.5m and made almost 500 first-team appearances for Liverpool.
Hyypia said: “The main reason is I still think I’m young enough to play football and I know chances to play here would be limited.
“I spoke to the manager and I didn’t want him to make promises about how many games I would play, but this season has been mentally very difficult.
“I haven’t played a lot and playing is what I enjoy most.
“I understand it isn’t possible to play enough games here for me to be happy, so I had to look elsewhere.
“I got the option to go abroad to Bayer Leverkusen. The whole package was good, they have big plans for me and hopefully I can go there and help them to be successful”

rooney – learn to spell: its “bye” not “buy” and “loser” (which you are)
Oh, rooney,….I’m loss for words. You’re so mentally handicapped you can’t even spell correctly. If I’m your mama, I’ll be very worried.
Thanks for the wonderful 10 years, Sami. You’ll always welcome if one day you decide to come back. Our door is always open. Good luck on your new adventure. You are a legend, and You’ll Never Walk Alone.

I don’t want him to go.
He did wonders for us.
He captained before Gerrard.
He was the big man next to Carra back.
But i guess the time has come to go.
We will miss you!
All your efforts taken to heart.
So grateful to everything you have done for LFC
Good Luck.

Never forget that.
Always loved, remembered, and grateful
