Marseille centre-back Duje Caleta-Car has confirmed that he had the opportunity to join Liverpool during the recently-concluded transfer window.
The 24-year-old was on the radar of Jurgen Klopp’s side prior to the winter transfer deadline with the club desperate to sign a few centre-backs.
A deal for Caleta-Car never materialised in the end but they managed to sign Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak from Preston North End and Schalke (initial loan) respectively.
In a press conference ahead of Marseille’s game with Nice, Caleta-Car confirmed the Reds were keen on landing his signature and it was an honour to learn of the interest.
