Adios Luis Garcia!

Further to our story yesterday, Luis Garcia has today completed his move to Atletico Madrid.

Transfer figures of around £3 million have been quoted in the Spanish press. The deal has been conducted independently of the Fernando Torres transfer which is expected to be completed later. Torres is undergoing a medical with Liverpool. The player had returned to Spain, believed to have been recording a message for the Atletico faithful who worship the number 9.

Garcia has been out of action for nearly all of 2007 after tearing his cruciate knee ligament in our 6-3 defeat against Arsenal in the League Cup.

The player made 121 appearances for Liverpool - netting 30 times. His most memorable 'goal' of them all was the strike which sent Liverpool in to the European Cup final in Istanbul.

The player got married on the 1st July, and we at Anfield Online wish Luis all the best at Madrid and in his international career and thanks for the memories.
