Liverpool confirm Adrián set to leave after rejecting new deal | OneFootball

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrián has left the club after rejecting a new contract.

The 37-year-old has served as understudy to first-choice Alisson since 2019, stepping in during that year’s Super Cup win over Chelsea.

But Adrián’s first-team prospect suffered a downturn as Caoimhin Kelleher rose to second in command during the past three seasons.

Despite receiving the offer of another 12-month extension from the Reds, the veteran stopper will pursue a fresh challenge elsewhere.

“Adrián departs Liverpool this summer having made a valuable contribution to the club’s successes across his five years at Anfield,” confirmed a club statement.

“A popular figure among teammates and staff alike, Adrián leaves the Reds with the best wishes of everybody at the club.

“Thank you for everything.”

Former club Real Betis are reportedly expected to become Adrián’s next destination, having grown up in Seville and first emerged from their ranks.
