Former Liverpool target Duje Caleta-Car claims he CHOSE to stay at Marseille despite a deadline day Anfield offer but admits it was 'an honour' to be wanted by Jurgen Klopp

Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car revealed he turned down an offer to join Liverpool in the January transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp brought in Ozan Kabak from Schalke and Ben Davies from Preston North End on deadline day to bolster his depleted defensive ranks.

However, ahead of Marseille's clash with Nice on Wednesday, Caleta-Car claimed that he too received an offer to make the switch to Anfield, but eventually decided to stay and continue his development in France.
