In 2013, Liverpool signed Pedro Chirivella for their academy from Valencia.
Two years later, Brendan Rodgers handed the midfielder his first team debut in the Europa League clash against Bordeaux and his successor Jurgen Klopp played him in the league and cup competitions during the 2015/16 season.
Since January 2017, he has been out on loan at with Dutch clubs Go Ahead Eagles and Willem II before joining Spanish side Extremadura on loan earlier this year.
Chirivella gave an interview to Spanish newspaper AS and revealed that Norwegian club Rosenborg BK were keen on acquiring his services, but the player had no plans to join them.
“I rejected an offer from Rosenborg, who wanted to sign me for almost 4 million and I told Klopp that I wouldn’t leave,” he said.
Chirivella’s former youth teammates at Valencia Carlos Soler and Toni Lato have made their way into the first team, while he has struggled to find his way into Liverpool’s squad.
Asked if he regrets leaving Valencia, the player said: “I do not regret because in Liverpool I became a man on the pitch and because I believe that each one has their own career.
“For me it is an immersed joy to see Carlos and Lato in the first team. It is a pleasure to have them as friends.”
