Changes continue at Anfield this summer as another Liverpool player departs the club.
He joins Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara, who have already left following the expiration of their contracts at Anfield.
With Jurgen Klopp’s departure and Arne Slot’s arrival, squad changes are expected for the upcoming season.
New signings and departures are anticipated throughout the summer transfer window as the Reds aim to strengthen their squad for a trophy challenge next season.
Melkamu Frauendorf, who left Liverpool on a free transfer, expressed heartfelt thanks to the players and staff at the club.
The young midfielder confirmed his exit, signing with 2. Bundesliga side Hannover 96.
The 20-year-old spent four years at Liverpool after joining from Hoffenheim.
“Today is the day to say goodbye and thank you for the four wonderful years I spent at the Liverpool Academy,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I could not have wished for better training conditions, and my special thanks go to my coaches and teammates.”
“Thank you to all the staff, especially the kitchen staff, for the delicious food, and to my teachers who helped me succeed in language classes,” he added.
“To all the fans who made it special to represent the Club at the matches: Thank you!
“The hardest part of leaving Liverpool was saying goodbye to my host family, who are more like family than hosts to me.
I will miss living with you and the kids in the house. There is no way to thank you enough for everything you did for me. All the best to everyone.”
Despite impressing during his time at Liverpool, Frauendorf did not secure a place in the senior squad.
Leaving Liverpool is crucial for his career growth
The competition at Liverpool is tough, and with the high quality of the first team squad, youngsters often struggle to break into the team.
A move away from Anfield is right for his career as he needs to develop more and become a better player.
In 2022, he made his debut for Liverpool against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup third round. Ten months later, he had his first start in the Carabao Cup against Derby County.
