However, Carragher has advised the five-time Champions League winner to consider leaving the Premier League this summer and recalled how he felt as his Liverpool playing career drew to a close, warning Casemiro “to leave football before football leaves you” .

“I said at half-time that they have to take Casemiro off. I know he has kids on the bench, but I think that Casemiro, I’m very serious, should know himself tonight as an experienced player, that he should only have three more games at the top level, the next two league games and the cup final and thinking I have to go to MLS or Saudi,” Carragher said on Monday Night Football.

“I’m dead serious. His agent or the people around him need to tell him he needs to stop. We’re looking at one of the greatest of modern times played in one of the best midfielders of modern times – he keeping Kross and Modric on either side who could easily go up against the Barcelona midfield we all know and love.

“I’m nowhere near the level of what that man achieved, but I always remember something when I retire. It was a saying I always remember as a footballer. Leave football before football leaves you. Football left him at the top. He has to call it a day at this level of football and move on.”
