Huddersfield Town winger Thomas Ince has revealed how should've joined Liverpool four years.
Ince says Blackpool stopped him from rejoining Liverpool in 2013.
He told the Telegraph: "Liverpool was very close but the Blackpool chairman did not want to be out of pocket because Liverpool owned a percentage of the sell-on fee.
"He made it difficult and they would not let me go. That was disappointing because I felt I would have been given a chance under Brendan Rodgers."
Ince also explained why he opted to reject a move to Inter Milan three years later.
The 25-year-old added: "When Inter were interested in me I stood in the San Siro and the English boy inside me told me to go to the Premier League."
