The Brazilian midfielder joined the Saudi Pro League club in a £40million transfer after five years at Anfield.

The 31-year-old played in 219 matches throughout his spell with the Reds, netting 11 goals and providing nine assists.

He was instrumental as Liverpool triumphed in the Premier League, Champions League, League Cup, and European Super Cup.

"I came back for the following season, even though the previous one hadn't been good, with a very good mentality and wanting to fight for the Premier League title again.

I left in peace and happy with my decision."
