10 Players Who Rejected Liverpool
8. Ousmane Dembele
Dembele's debut season for Rennes, during which he scored twelve times and assisted five times over 26 appearances, led to him being named young player of the year in France for the 2015/16 season and put Europe's big clubs on notice.
That summer, Jurgen Klopp was more desperate than your newly-single mate who just downloaded Tinder to get the emerging young talent, and even met with Dembele in Paris to convince him to join the Reds, but he was too late.
The Frenchman already had his heart set on signing for Borussia Dortmund instead as he thought it would be more beneficial for his fledging career. He made the move to Dortmund, and a year later completed a switch to Barcelona for €105m. Ka-ching!
