According to La Razón, Adrián wants to join Real Betis when his Liverpool contract expires this summer, instead of staying at Anfield.

The £50,000-a-week Liverpool glovesman sees his contract expire on June 30th, and seemingly has no desire to stay on Merseyside.

La Razón claim that the Spaniard is keen to link up with Manuel Pellegrini at Real Betis, having been coached by the Chilean at West Ham.

With Jürgen Klopp now appearing to view Caoimhin Kelleher as his No.2, you can understand why the 34-year-old has no interest in staying at Liverpool.

The Sevilla born shot-stopper has only made six appearances in all competitions this season, with Liverpool winning three of those games.

Adrián was also in between the sticks for Liverpool’s embarrassing 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa in October.

It was his overhit pass to Joe Gomez which allowed Ollie Watkins to open the floodgates.

Aside from his heroics in the UEFA Super Cup final against Chelsea, Adrián has largely looked out of his depth at Liverpool.

It makes much more sense for Klopp to develop Kelleher’s abilities and continue to start Alisson Becker, rather than renew the Spaniard’s contract.

Additionally, £50,000-a-week is no small sum, so Liverpool will surely be delighted to have that cash freed up from the wage bill.
