"I'm going to Liverpool with all the enthusiasm in the world," the 28-year-old Spanish striker told a news conference at Real Madrid's training ground in Las Rozas.
"This has been one of the most important decisions in my life and I'm very happy about it. I'm going there to work hard and become one of the team.
"I can't wait to play my first game and if it was against Manchester United then it couldn't be any better. If the medical goes well and I get a few minutes in the game then that would be brilliant."
