“I knew that I had the opportunity to move to England. The transfer failed, and I still do not understand why nothing happened. What kind of club did Spartak offer? “Liverpool,” Welliton quoted Sport24.
According to him, it was in 2009 or 2010, then his agent had problems with the leadership of the Russian club, which could affect a possible deal.
“The agent told me about this possibility only years later,” Welliton added.
Welliton played for Spartak from 2007 to 2014. In total, he has 133 matches and 61 goals in the red and white.
Earlier, an agent of a football player from Burkina Faso Compaore confirmed the interest of Spartak.
