The 29-year-old defender leaves Liverpool after eight years with the Premier League side.
Liverpool vice-captain Daniel Agger has sealed a move back to Denmark with his first club, Brondby.
The defender made 232 appearances for the Reds after joining from Brondby in January 2006 and revealed that he has turned down offers from Premier League and other European clubs.
“Liverpool have been such a big part of my life and my family’s lives for so long, that leaving is extremely difficult,” Agger told Liverpoolfc.com.
“The opportunity arose for me to return home to Brondby and at this stage of my career it felt like the right decision for me.
Sad to see Agger go, although time was right. Looked set to be one of our best-ever CBs but never quite kicked on. Still very good overall.

“I wouldn’t leave here to go anywhere else and that has been proven by my actions in recent seasons – I have turned down many offers to move to other Premier League and European clubs.
“I would like to thank the Liverpool supporters for the incredible backing they have given me in my time here and the warmth and generosity of spirit displayed to my family.
“This has been our home and somewhere we have been very happy and settled. However, more recently I have started to feel the effects of playing regularly in a league that is as physically demanding as the Premier League is, and I would not want to stay if I did not think that I was able to meet that challenge week in, week out.
“The club itself is very special and I shall remain a supporter for the rest of my life. I regard every game I played at Anfield as a privilege.”
