Lallana, 36, has been at the Seagulls for four years following his switch from Liverpool in 2020.
He said: “It was a tough decision, but it just feels like the right time, not just for myself but for the club as well. I’ve been in talks with Roberto for the past couple of months and he expressed his wish for me to stay and keep playing.
“However, after taking a little time to think about where the football club is at, and having been away from my family for the last four years, I just feel it’s the right time.
“I’ve been speaking with my family throughout the year and the biggest influence on my decision was my kids, who need me around a bit more at the age they’re at. I feel it’s time in my life and in my career to put them first.
“Last week I told Roberto, the club and my teammates, who are extremely important to me. Now I just want to enjoy my last week, get a couple of really positive results, and finish the season on a high.”
