Adrian doubled his wages with late Liverpool offer

Adrian was on verge of signing for a lower-ranking La Liga club for £20,000 per week before Liverpool came knocking.

The 32-year-old was about to accept the best offer he had received all summer to return to Spain when Liverpool made a late enquiry to his representatives offering to double his best offer to £40,000 per week to stay in the Premier League.

In addition to his wages worth £160,000 per month, he is thought to have landed a lucrative seven-figure million signing on bonus.

The former Hamme signed a deal with Liverpool following the departure of Simon Mignolet on a permanent switch to Club Brugge earlier today. Mignolet was reported to earn £60,000 per week so the Reds will still be making a significant saving on their backup keeper.

Adrian spent a six-year spell with West Ham making 150 appearances for the club before leaving this summer at the end of his contract. Pellegrini signed Roberto and David Martin who combined wages are claimed to be less than Adrian enjoyed.

I commented long ago offer him another contract (wether he accepted it is another matter ) he is a professional club man and prepared to work for his place and from what we have seen of Roberto we will live to regret 😕

I was sad to see him go, he seemed to have a genuine affection for the club & us supporters.
Hope he has a good time at Liverpool.

We are letting emotion get in the way of clear thinking….. he wasn’t very good for the last 2 years if we are honest…. he had one good year with us .
He is a nice guy, nice person and so on but NOT a top league keeper in England, Germany Spain , France or Italy… if he was he would have had lots of offers.

West Ham did the correct thing and have doubled their keepers which is correct and good business.
