Liverpool transfer news: Colombia star Carlos Bacca nearly joined, one thing stopped move
Liverpool were tipped to sign Bacca three years ago but AC Milan ultimately won the race for his signature.
The Colombia star missed the decisive spot-kick last night as his side lost to England in the World Cup quarter finals.
Bacca has since been sent death threats by fans furious at his inability to convert from 12 yards.
And the Colombia star nearly joined Liverpool, the Liverpool Echo claim.
Three years ago, Brendan Rodgers ruled the roost on Merseyside and was determined to sign a new centre forward.
The club had lost Luis Suarez to Barcelona in 2014, with the Uruguay international’s goals and guile missed the following season.
