The Merseyside giants were in the market for a midfielder and ended up signing Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich in the final hours of the summer window.<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old has penned a five-year deal at Liverpool and will be expected to play a crucial role in midfield following the summer exits of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and James Milner. However, things could have ended up differently if the Reds had managed to land Lindstrom before succeeding in their efforts to sign Gravenberch.<\/p>\n<p>Lindstrom joined Napoli from Frankfurt prior to last week&#8217;s deadline but turned down a move to Anfield before making the switch to Italy. He explained that although it would have fulfilled a lifelong dream of his, he snubbed the Reds after realising that he would have more opportunities to play at Napoli.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was Liverpool, and I am a Liverpool supporter, so it would\u2019ve been a madly fascinating experience,&#8221; said Lindstrom. &#8220;But would it have been an intelligent move? If I don\u2019t play, then I may as well sit in front of the TV and watch them play there while I am at a different club. I am at an age now where I have to play football.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> JUST IN: <\/strong> <strong>Henderson opens up on Liverpool alarm bells, \u00a3700k salary and feeling unwanted<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/4943976.jpg?r=1693911738115\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is why I think Napoli represents a good change. It is one of the best clubs in the world, and they said I will have many opportunities to play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool completely revamped their midfield over the summer despite missing out on Lindstrom and several other targets, including the likes of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. They managed to sign four new players in the position, with Gravenberch being joined by Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo.<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

However, it remains to be seen how they will fare over the course of the season as they aim for an immediate return to the division&#8217;s top four.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Want the latest Premier League news as we publish it on\u00a0<i>Express Sport<\/i>?
