Liverpool, who was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, continues to strengthen. The English team has added defender Nuno Valente for 1.5 million pounds.

The 30-year-old left-back arrived in England on Sunday where he underwent a medical examination. It is reported that the Portuguese has already put his signature on a three-year contract.

Lately, the defender had not been included in the "Porto" lineup due to conflicts with the team managers. It is believed that the Portuguese club was not happy with the player's decision to continue representing the Portuguese national team.

"I disappointed many people. I deserved to leave where it is better considering what I have already done for the good of 'Porto'," he said.

"Everton" coach David Moyes did not hide his desire to acquire a new left-back as Alexandre Pistone and Gary Naysmith had been sidelined due to injuries.

Not long ago, N. Valente suffered a serious injury while playing for the national team and was unable to play for five months. Now, despite the dissatisfaction of the Portuguese vice-champions, the player has agreed to wear the national team jersey again.
