Liverpool confirms the departure of Spanish goalkeeper Adrian after a five-year stint. Adrian, pivotal in the 2019 UEFA Super Cup win, leaves after 26 appearances. Despite limited playtime, he expressed heartfelt gratitude to fans as he bids farewell. His next move remains uncertain amidst speculations of a return to Spain.

Liverpool Football Club has officially announced the departure of Spanish goalkeeper Adrian following the expiration of his contract. Adrian, who joined the Reds in 2019, made 26 appearances over his five-year tenure and played a critical role in Liverpool's 2019 UEFA Super Cup victory against Chelsea.

An official statement from the club praised Adrian's contributions, stating, 'Adrian departs Liverpool this summer having made a valuable contribution to the club's successes across his five years at Anfield. A popular figure among teammates and staff alike, Adrian leaves the Reds with the best wishes of everybody at the club. Thank you for everything.' Despite his limited playtime, primarily due to the presence of first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker, Adrian's influence was significant.

Adrian's last appearance for Liverpool came in the 2022 Community Shield, a match against Manchester City, stepping in due to injuries to both Alisson and Caoimhin Kelleher. Following the announcement, Adrian posted a heartfelt video on social media expressing his gratitude toward fans, calling his tenure at Liverpool a 'beautiful and successful journey.'

Adrian's emotional message included thanks to supporters for their unwavering backing and expressed the honor he felt wearing the Liverpool shirt. He praised the 'You Will Never Walk Alone' anthem and the powerful traditions of the club. Although Adrian's next career move is still uncertain, reports suggest a possible return to Spain.
