Liverpool were close to securing a player-swap deal involving Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez.
The Reds were in advanced talks with Paris Saint-Germain discussing the potential transfer of the two strikers, but it wasn’t until late on when Suarez told Brendan Rodgers he wanted to move to FC Barcelona instead.
Officials from both clubs (PSG and Liverpool) met up and held talks about the potential Cavani-Suarez swap deal, and were both keen to wrap up the deal, but after returning from the World Cup, Suarez revealed his plans to move to Spain.
Suarez then eventually joined Barcelona in a deal worth £75million, and Cavani stayed in France, with Liverpool signing Mario Balotelli from AC Milan instead.
