David Trezeguet Reveals Liverpool Wanted To Sign Him In The Summer

Hercules striker David Trezeguet has revealed that he snubbed an offer from Premier League outfit Liverpool in the summer to join the newly promoted Spanish Primera Division side instead.

The former World Cup winner joined Hercules on a free transfer after mutually terminating his contract with Juventus. The 32-year-old stated that he could have stayed in Italy or moved to the Premier League.

"Lazio and Liverpool were interested," Trezeguet told L'Equipe. "But things went on.

"The English club waited to sort out the transfer of [Javier] Mascherano before starting anything else.

"Anyway, after 10 years in Turin, above all I needed to find sun and sea again. And the fact that my wife is from the region also played a part in my decision."
