Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, has revealed that last Summer, Brendan Rodgers was desperate to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Arjen Robben.
The Dutchman, who has continuted to spark controversy on the pitch with his theatrical performances, has been impressive for Netherlands in Brazil, and also had a superb season in Germany last year with Munich, but Carragher has revealed that he was close to joining Liverpool in the Summer of 2013.
The wide-man has been strongly linked with a move back to England this year with Manchester United, due to Louis Van Gaal taking over after the World Cup, and the ex-Chelsea man was a serious target for Rodgers.
Carragher said: ‘Brendan Rodgers tried to sign him for Liverpool before the 2013 Champions League final.
‘He wasn’t a regular for Bayern then but he scored the winner at Wembley against Borussia Dortmund and has since gone from strength to strength.
‘Liverpool have not had a world class wide man since John Barnes.’
