Riise completes Roma move
John Arne Riise has completed his move from Liverpool to Roma, with the Serie A giants declaring that he has signed on a four-year deal.
The versatile left-sided Norwegian will join Luciano Spalletti’s side after falling out of favour at Anfield after seven years on Merseyside.
Riise, who has joined The Giallorossi for just under £4million, made over 300 appearances under Rafael Benitez and previously Gerard Houllier at Liverpool after signing from Monaco. However, the emergence of Brazilian Fabio Aurelio saw his chances become more limited on the left in his final season on Merseyside.
A statement from the Italian side read: "AS Roma announce they have reached an agreement with Liverpool Football Club for the acquisition of the sporting rights of the player John Arne Riise with effect from July 1 2008."
Liverpool's Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Newcastle United had also been linked with the player. |
