It's a dark, dark day for Liverpool fans, as the club have announced the £5m sale of legendary Anfield icon Iago Aspas to Sevilla, who will then immediately sell him to Celta Vigo.
The awkward transfer is a result of Sevilla's obligation to buy Aspas after his loan spell at the Europa League winners, and Celta are happy to have a striker of the proven Premier League quality of Iago Aspas.
Liverpool fans have been inconsolable on twitter, and understandably so. Here are just some of the reactions:

Iago #Aspas is no longer an #LFC player. Besides his infamous corner, this video will forever remind me of him https://t.co/Mn67DA7RxU

@English_AS Is he not a Liverpool player?

The last lad there can't even comprehend what has happened.
Even the signing of Adam Bogdan can't provide any relief from the pain.
