The sporting director who brought Jordan Henderson to Liverpool back in 2011 believes that he would have been playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona even if he would have moved to Fulham.
Damien Comolli was Liverpool's sporting director from 2010 until he was dismissed by the Reds' owners Fenway Sports Group in 2012 owing to what were perceived to be transfer misses.
Comolli himself told talkSPORT in 2016 that one of the reasons for his dismissal was the signing of Henderson from Sunderland in June 2011 for around £16m, with the slow start to life at Anfield for the then 20-year-old central midfielder proving to be the final straw after the disappointments of the likes of Andy Carroll and Sebastian Coates.
