'I would have liked to go': Figo reveals how close he was to signing for Liverpool
Barca and Real Madrid legend, Luis Figo has revealed in an interview with Guardian, that he was very close to signing for Liverpool back in 2005.
“I would have liked to go,” Figo says. “We talked a lot. One week they say, ‘No, wait, we can’t do it just now’ and then they sign a player. Then, ‘Wait a few more days, we need to sort this first’ and they sign another.
"I think: ‘Bloody hell, are you messing with me, or what?’ Inter appear, I go to Milan, meet [the club president Massimo] Moratti and take the decision. I loved Inter, it was exactly what I needed.”
