20-year-old striker Andras Simon has terminated his Liverpool contract by mutual consent and left the club.
The young Hungarian had spent last season on loan to Cordoba, but has never really made an impact on the first team at Anfield, failing to make a single senior appearance for the side.
The player’s agent, Viktor Kovesdi has stated that Rafael Benitez’s departure and the decision of new boss Roy Hodgson to promote home-grown talent in the club’s academy was one of the key factors in Simon seeking a departure.
"The player had a three plus two year-long contract which was extended automatically last summer, but his future became unclear after the change in manager at Liverpool," Kovesdi told origo.hu.
"The successor of Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson puts the English players to the forefront instead of the footballers from abroad.
"This approach can be seen at the reserves because some of Simon's team-mates from abroad have departed from the club lately.”
