Jerzy Dudek will quit Liverpool this summer after claiming he is fed up of being treated like "a slave".

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, said: "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 goalkeepers off signing for Liverpool, saying manager Rafael Benitez will treat them in exactly the same way.

"To get a good keeper, they'd have to spend £3 million to £4 million 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," he told reporters.  PA
