Denmark midfielder Jesper Lindstrom has revealed that he rejected a move to Liverpool and opted to join Napoli earlier this summer.
He told Tipsbladet: “There was Liverpool after all, but would I get playing time? Would it be smart to go to Liverpool?
“I’m a Liverpool fan, it says it everywhere. So it could also be an insanely cool experience. But if I’m not playing, I might as well sit and watch them on TV for another club. I’m at an age now where I have to play some football.
“That’s why I think Napoli is a good change. It is a top club in the world and they have expressed that I will play and I will get a lot of chances.”
It appears that Liverpool might’ve wanted to make a move for Lindstrom before he joined the Serie A side.
Unfortunately for him, the Reds ended up strengthening their midfield line with the signings of players like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo.
