Germany international forward Max Kruse says he turned down an offer from Liverpool earlier this summer.
Kruse, 31, was a free agent this summer after the expiration of his contract at Werder Bremen, where he spent three productive seasons.
He registered 12 goals and 14 assists in all competitions in his last season in Bremen, and has hit double figures of goals in six of his last eight seasons.
Kruse has also played 14 times for Germany, scoring four times.
He has since joined Turkish giants Fenerbahce after fielding calls from a number of clubs, and he claims Jurgen Klopp’s side were one of them.
