Soccer Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Athens, Greece (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Albert Riera has left Liverpool to sign with Olympiakos, the Greek club announced on Friday.

Riera signed with Liverpool from Spanish side Espanyol in 2008 for a fee of $12 million, but he has now moved to Greece for a reported $5 million.

"Olympiakos announce the acquisition of Liverpool's Spanish international Albert Riera," a statement from Olympiakos read. "The player has signed a four-year agreement."

Riera's first season at Anfield included 24 appearances in league play with four goals, but he endured a terrible time last season as he made just nine starts before falling out with manager Rafael Benitez.

The 28-year-old Riera joins Yossi Benayoun on his way out of Liverpool, while the Reds have added both Joe Cole and Milan Jovanovic to the team so far this summer.
