Liverpool have confirmed that Maxi Rodriguez has returned to former club Newell's Old Boys.
A move back to the attacker's native Argentina appeared inevitable after bidding the Reds faithful a fond farewell in their final home game of last season against Chelsea.
Following his £1.5million arrival from Atletico Madrid in January 2010, Maxi recorded 17 goals in 73 appearances while he became something of a talismanic figure for Liverpool.
Brendan Rodgers had hoped to retain the 31-year-old's services as he prepares to usher in a new dynasty at Anfield but was unable to convince him to reconsider his options.
"It has been a great honour to defend this shirt during two and a half years," said Rodriguez.
"I am returning home with a suitcase full of great memories, good friends within the team and also within this great family that works every day in the club."
