Liverpool Youngster Chirivella Turns Down Transfer Offer as He Seeks England Stay or Return to Spain

Young Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella has rejected the chance to join Rosenborg, despite a transfer fee being agreed between the Reds and the Norwegian champions.

Chirivella was given permission to talk to Rosenborg last weekend after Liverpool accepted a £3.5m bid for the 21-year-old. The transfer would have included a buyback option in each of Chirivella's first three seasons after leaving the club.

But as the Liverpool Echo reports, he has decided that this is not the right move for him, as he would rather continue his development in a more prestigious league.
