Liverpool defender Daniel Agger re-joins Danish club Brondby

Daniel Agger’s eight-year stint in the Premier League with Liverpool has come to a close, with the Dane signing with Brondby. Agger signed for Liverpool from Brondby in 2006, and the two-club man will once again have a stint in the Danish Superliga.

The fee is estimated to be around £3 million ($5 million), half of the figure that Liverpool signed him for over eight years ago. Agger enjoyed a successful stint at Anfield, making 232 appearances and winning the FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shield and winning a runners-up medal in the Champions League.

The 29 year-old was linked to the likes of Barcelona and Napoli this summer, but has opted to link up with his old side. After Liverpool secured the services of Dejan Lovren, Agger was expected to have a minimal role in the forthcoming season, but will play a much larger role at Brondby.

Agger released a statement to liverpoolfc.com on his decision to leave.
“Liverpool have been such a big part of my life and my family’s lives for so long, that leaving is extremely difficult. 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.

“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.

“I would like to thank the Liverpool supporters for the incredible backing they have given me in my time here and the warmth and generosity of spirit displayed to my family.

“This has been our home and somewhere we have been very happy and settled. However, more recently I have started to feel the effects of playing regularly in a league that is as physically demanding as the Premier League is, and I would not want to stay if I did not think that I was able to meet that challenge week in, week out.

“The club itself is very special and I shall remain a supporter for the rest of my life. I regard every game I played at Anfield as a privilege.”
