Norwegian rising star Andreas Schjelderup has admitted he turned down the chance to sign for Liverpool - although has left the door open to a potential transfer in the future.
The 17-year-old midfielder began his career in his native country at reigning top-flight champions Bodo/Glimt but was soon being targeted by a number of top European sides and was left with a big decision to make.
In the end, he opted to sign for Danish side FC Nordsjaelland in July 2020 and has experienced rapid progression since making this move. Bayern Munich and Juventus were two other possible destinations for Schjelderup, having spent time on trail at both clubs, but he does not regret the path taken in his early career.
