Jerzy Dudek will leave Liverpool this summer after claiming he is fed up of being treated like 'a slave'.
Click here The club's 2005 Champions League hero has played only a handful of games since rival goalkeeper Jose Reina arrived at Anfield two summers ago and is out of contract at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old Poland international, a target for Wolfsburg and former club Feyenoord, told The Sun: 'I have to finally tell Rafa I'm leaving because maybe he's not aware of it.
'I will remember Liverpool fondly as a success but not the situation I've found myself in. When a player knows he is a slave, he'll never give his employer his heart.'
Dudek has warned his fellow keepers off signing for Liverpool, saying manager Rafael Benitez will treat them in exactly the same way.
He said: 'To get a good keeper, they'd have to spend £3million to £4million and then Rafa would have to tell that keeper: `You're going to sit on the bench'.
'But no respected keeper would come under those terms and that's why they prefer to keep me.'
Parting shot @ benitez?

to be fair to Rafa , Rafa has stated to Dudek he has not future at Liverpool , the most he will get is on the bench and has told Dudek to find himself a new club in the summer , but no taker .
what can rafa do ?
rafa is good to pay him & play him on some league cups and fa cup matches ....
it's not nice to say "slavery" in that sense ....
