🚨 “I was almost 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫”, says Rodrygo after €𝟑𝐦 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 collapsed in 2017 🤯🇧🇷

“I have rejected the chance to join Liverpool just 7 years ago. We didn’t close the deal because I didn’t want to”.

“I wanted to stay at Santos even though the offer was very good. The pathway they promised me would also have been very good for my career. I was going to finish my studies in England to prepare for European football”.

“Everything was very good, but my desire spoke louder. I wanted to stay at Santos and make a bit of history at the club before leaving for an European super club…”.

“That’s what happened: I was able to fulfil my dream at Santos. But it’s true, I almost joined Liverpool”, Rodrygo revealed speaking to @guardian ahead of City game.

❗️ The agreement between Liverpool and Santos was done for €3m fee, it was a bargain… but it collapsed.

👀 Liverpool director was same one appointed again this year; Michael Edwards who’s back to the club.
