Liverpool Transfer Updates
There is no doubt that Juventus lost some high-quality players in Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal in the summer transfer window and France international Paul Pogba nearly left them as well. Despite that, one player who was on the verge of leaving as well and that the fans might not know about is midfield superstar Claudio Marchisio, for whom Premier League giants Liverpool had made an offer.
Juve chief Beppe Marotta confirmed that the Reds made a mega bid for the 29 year old superstar, which was rebuffed, as the player himself intends to finish his career in Turin. Marotta mentioned the Merseyside club by name but described the Serie A champions as a buying club, not a selling one.
The Guardian reported him as saying, “We get so many offers for our players, but we are used to buying – not selling.”
“We have renewed with him, our focus is strong and I think Claudio’s first thought is to finish his career here. Not only Liverpool, we have received several offers.”
