Real Madrid forward Rodrigo Silva explained why in 2017, when he played for Santos, he didn’t move to Liverpool for 3 million euros.
We didn’t make a deal because I didn’t want it. I wanted to stay at Santos, even though the offer was very good. The path they promised me would also be very beneficial for my career. I would have finished my studies in England to prepare for European football. I have always dreamed of playing in Europe. Everything was going very well, but my desire spoke louder. I wanted to stay at Santos and contribute to the history of the club. And this is what happened: I was able to realize my dream of playing for Santos. But it’s true that I almost went to Liverpool.
