Lucas has thanked Liverpool's "special" supporters after completing his permanent transfer to Lazio.
The Brazilian has finalised a £5m move to Serie A, ending an Anfield association stretching back more than 10 years.
Signed by Rafa Benitez in 2007, Lucas made 346 appearances for Liverpool, won the League Cup in 2012 and was the club's longest-serving player. He told the Reds' website: "Liverpool as a club and Liverpool as a city is a unique place. I think it's different from everywhere.
"The fans are a big part of the club, probably the most important part of the club, and without them Liverpool wouldn't be the same club I would say. City have signed two goalkeepers since Pep Guardiola became manager last summer, with Claudio Bravo and Ederson arriving at the Etihad, leaving Hart surplus to requirements.
Hart could face his parent club on August 4 when West Ham taken on City in a pre-season friendly in Iceland.
"It'll be fun to play against them because I'll be banned when it comes to the actual season, while I'm sure Manchester United will welcome me with open arms if I get the nod and start the season away at Old Trafford," Hart added.
