Trezeguet: Reds wanted to sign me
Former Juventus David Trezeguet claims that he had the option to join Liverpool before eventually deciding to sign for Hercules.[LNB] The Frenchman's agent announced at the end of August that the Premier League Reds were showing interest as Roy Hodgson looked for attacking support for Fernando Torres.[LNB]Trezeguet had been linked with a move to Anfield for several years, while Italian rivals Roma and Lazio are said to have joined the hunt this summer.[LNB]But the 32-year-old has revealed that Liverpool's transfer activity was stalled by the drawn-out sale of Javier Mascherano to Barcelona and he maintains that he was not interested in a move to England.[LNB]Trezeguet said in L'Equipe: "Lazio, Roma and Liverpool were interested. But things went on.[LNB]"The English club waited to sort out the transfer of Mascherano before starting anything else.[LNB]"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."
