Rangers agreed an estimated €11m move to Liverpool, which prompted Remy to join Liverpool in USA, where the team is preparing for the new season, that is starting next month - August.

Redknapp told the media, ''Reports have come out that he failed a medical. That's not possible. He is a very fit lad, there has to be another reason.''
''I don't see how he could have failed a medical,'' coach Redknapp said.
''He had a stringent one here, one at Marseille and at Newcastle and with France before the World Cup. You couldn't meet a fitter lad,'' he added.
Remy who was in the just conluded World Cup in Brazil with France, moved to QPR from Marseille in January 2013 in a club record deal of €10m.
The gifted striker went on a season loan to Newcastle last season, after Queens Park Rangers was relegated to the lower division.
Liverpool have not said any thing further, about why they did not want to sign the player any more, or than the reason they've already given.
As aforementioned in this article, Harry Redknapp did not believe that reason, but seem to be happy to have the player back in his team.
''Their loss is our gain - we've got a fantastic striker. I said last year he was capable of scoring 20 goals in the Premier League. That's what we now want him to do for us,'' Redknapp added.
Last season at the Newcastle United, he appeared 26 times and scored 14 goals, but it could 've been more, had it been that he did not suffer an injury, which kept him away for awhile.
