Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva has suggested that he could be on his way out of Liverpool by removing links to the club from his Twitter profile.

The 27-year-old midfielder reportedly erased the fact that he was a Liverpool player from his bio and also unfollowed the club's official account on the social network before appearing to then refollow them.

It has been reported that Italian clubs Inter Milan and Napoli are interested in signing the Brazilian.

Leiva has been a Liverpool player for seven years, but last season struggled to hold down a regular place in Brendan Rodgers's starting lineup as England duo Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson often got the nod in central midfield.
