Former Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has disclosed that he wept profusely when he left Anfield in 2024.
The Spaniard spent five years as former manager Jurgen Klopp’s second-choice keeper and made just 26 appearances as second fiddle to first-choice keeper Alisson.
In an interview with The Athletic, Adrian revealed how hard it was to move back to his homeland without a proper farewell from fans.

“I cried when I left Liverpool. I didn’t get a chance to say a proper goodbye to the fans, so I had to make a video on my social media. I was at home with my family and I just broke down after,” he shared with The Athletic.
“I felt sorry for my kids because they had spent all of their lives in the UK. I had five wonderful seasons there and won all the trophies, except the Champions League. One side of my heart was saying, ‘Come on, I love Liverpool, I love my Scouse people’.
“It was difficult saying no to Liverpool. It’s hard leaving a place where you feel loved by everyone, but this decision was about me and my family.”
