Brendan Rodgers explains Alexis Sanchez rejection

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says Alexis Sanchez rejected a move to Anfield purely due to location, and the Merseyside club will not struggle to attract top name players.

The Chilean opted to sign for Arsenal after turning down Rodgers’ Reds, and will not replace Luis Suarez.

“That was one where geography dictated where he wanted to go – simple as that,” Rodgers is quoted as saying to the Daily Star.

“It’s been the other way.

“Lots of players are really impressed by what we are doing as a club and really excited about coming to Liverpool.

“It wasn’t due to a lack of ambition by the club. It was about where the player and his family wanted to choose to live.

“He’s a fantastic player and would have suited us. His profile would have been great but it was not to be and we move on.”
