Brentford forward Kevin Schade has explained why he would have rejected a move to Liverpool.
Schade signed for Brentford in the January transfer window on a loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of the season. A deal with Freiburg worth €25 million (£22m) was agreed between the two clubs shortly after the New Year.
Liverpool were not directly linked with a move for Schade in January, with the only new arrival that month coming in the form of a £37m move for Cody Gakpo. A host of potential new midfielders were rumoured, but Gakpo was the only new addition.
