Villarreal have signed former Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno on a free transfer.

Moreno, 27, has signed a five-year contract with the Spanish side.

The defender, who has been capped four times by Spain, was released by Liverpool last month after five seasons at Anfield.

He played 141 times for the club, having signed from Sevilla in August 2014.

Moreno was first-choice left-back left for two seasons but lost his place to James Milner and then Andy Robertson and made just five appearances in all competitions last season.

He was among the substitutes as Jurgen Klopp's side beat Tottenham in the Champions League final in Madrid last month to lift the trophy for a sixth time.

    I don't understand the Chelsea and City fans trolling. It's fine from United fans because at least they are club that has built their own success.

    United and Liverpool could lose their owners tomorrow and be fine. If either Chelsea or City's sugar daddies left then their clubs would be mid-table at best and bankrupt at worst. Show some humility because your situation is not permanent.

    No surprise that the chelsea fan is a massive hypocrite.
    Tell me, when you boys won your first and only european cup were you champions of england? No, no you werent, but that didnt stop you telling everyone for the whole of the next season that you were champions of europe did it?
    Although granted, that was mainly to distract from the fact that your club captain was a racist.

    Blue cheese come back when you got 6 European cups. Another tube who thinks football has only been on the go less than 30 years

    Hahah Chelsea38

    You were not English champions the one time you won the European Cup....

    Also we were more of a League team than you have been recently and surpassed any of your Borinho points tallies!!

    Would go walkabout in a defensive sense (especially in the Europa League final) but had some good spells for the club and always gave his all.

    Thank you Alberto and good luck back in your homeland.

    Liverpool fan

    I remember staying behind after L'pool played Burton in the League Cup....he didn't get on but reminded behind at the end to 'warm down' to the chorus of 'Moreno used to be 'shite' but now he's alright'.

    He saw the funny side so, respect Moreno and good luck.

    "How can you be champions of Europe when you cant win your own league? Your just a cup team and have been for 30 years"

    It was teams like Chelsea, who hadnt won a league title in like 50 years, who campaigned to have the European Cup turned into a league format with more places for top finishers to get in on the action after watching Liverpool dominate it in 70's & 80's. 🤣

    @49 I wonder if city will ever join the big clubs in being crowned Champions of Europe’? Aguero said he will stay at city until they win it, I guess he’s going to be there until his old age then. Guardiola said city can’t be considered a great team until they win the champions league so even Pep admits city aren’t that good yet.
    125 years and counting
    Even Moreno has a champions league medal

    52 ‘I don't understand the Chelsea and City fans trolling. It's fine from United fans because at least they are club that has built their own success.‘

    Because nobody gives a damn about them. We’re European royalty. People stopped discussing City winning the PL a couple of days after and barely anyone in Europe mentioned it at all. They’re a great team etc but on the world stage they’re nobody.

    Liverpool 6 Man United 3

    Chelsea 1 Man City 0

    Not the best player, but nevertheless Moreno still has more Champions League winners medals than the current man utd and city teams.

    @49 'Spot the odd one out Utd, City, Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea, Arsenal'

    Is it city, because no one cares if they win anything and upon buying a treble all of the medias attention was on liverpools upcoming cl final and paul pogba?

    There were more liverpool fans in madrid for the final than city fans at the trophry buying celebration lol
