Defender Alberto Moreno admits his departure from Sevilla has been emotional and complicated but he is relishing the prospect of joining Liverpool. The 22-year-old arrived at the clubs Melwood training ground on Wednesday to finalise a £12million move to Anfield after Sevilla relented in Liverpools long pursuit for the left-back. Moreno was pulled from his sides starting line-up to face Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup in Cardiff on Tuesday night and bade a tearful farewell to fans and team-mates after the 2-0 defeat at the Millennium Stadium. I am living a strange situation because Im leaving the club of my life, Moreno told ABC de Sevilla I was always aware of the two teams (trying) to agree. I never got into that but Sevilla have understood that Liverpools offer was good and I am going. (I have) many feelings together. What happened on the pitch, with the fans, will remain forever etched on me and I could not help but mourn (his departure) because I did not expect it. First came the parting with colleagues, then with the fans...all very complicated. Liverpool are a great team and of course Im super-motivated. I hope things go well. Morenos arrival will be the eighth through the doors at Anfield this summer, although Belgium striker Divock Origi has immediately returned to former club Lille on loan. Acquiring the defender, providing much-needed competition for Jose Enrique, will take manager Brendan Rodgers spending past the £100million mark this summer. ( James )
