Brendan Rodgers has denied that Liverpool were not interested in signing Memphis Depay and that the club made no attempt to sign the would-be-new Manchester United winger.
“It was not something that we were interested in,” said Rodgers.
“He is a young, talented player but we already have four players at the club in his position so we have other priorities we are looking at over the summer. With the players we have we are well stocked in that area.”
His quotes are slightly baffling. Liverpool’s representatives held talks with Depay’s representatives, as a PSV Eindhoven spokesman confirmed on Friday morning that the Reds contacted with the Dutch club and spoke with the player.
