Rodgers – Sanchez snub still hurting
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that the transfer snub from former Barcelona winger Alexis Sanchez, who instead chose a move to Arsenal, still frustrates him.
The Reds tried everything to tempt the former Barca man to ignore Arsenal and instead make the trip north to Merseyside, but to no avail – even after offering him more money than he eventually accepted to sign for the Gunners.
“Not to get him was obviously bitterly disappointing, because he was identified for us as someone who would have been a key signing and really just a roll-on to what we had with Luis Suarez,” Rodgers explained.
