5 Star players who almost signed for Liverpool

#1 Dani Alves

Dani Alves came very close to move to Anfield when he was at Sevilla in 2006

Barcelona's former electrifying right back and current Paris Saint-Germain man, Dani Alves astonishingly was very close to joining Liverpool from Sevilla back in 2006.

The current 35-year old was been linked with a move to Merseyside when Rafael Benitez was in managerial charge of the club but the deal fell at the final stages of negotiation.

It was revealed by the Brazillian himself about how close he came to joining Liverpool in 2006:

“I pretty much had an agreement with Liverpool. But for whatever reason it didn’t happen at the last moment and I really don’t know why, as I wasn’t the one conducting the negotiations. I had other people representing me back then.

Alves was superb during his time at Sevilla as the club secured back-to-back UEFA Cup triumphs. But later it was Barcelona who snatched the opportunity to sign the Brazillian and the rest is history.
