Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was interested in signing Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani earlier this year.

  • The Uruguayan was fancied to leave the Red Devils this summer before he committed to a new one-year contract.

    It is now revealed that Liverpool were interested in signing Cavani, had he snubbed a new deal with the Red Devils.

    Jurgen Klopp wanted a new striker during the summer, but the hierarchy were only willing to bring in a low-cost option.

    Ultimately, they did not bring in anyone. Divock Origi was touted to leave throughout the summer, but he ended up staying.

    The Belgian has done a credible job as a deputy up front. He has bagged three goals and two assists from seven games.

    The 26-year-old could still be on the move in January if the Reds want to recoup funds rather than losing him on a free transfer.

    His contract expires next summer, and there are no plans to renew his deal.
