18 months after rejecting new Liverpool contract, striker is joining bottom-of-the-table Dutch club

They do say the grass is just not at all times greener elsewhere. Simply ask Rafael Camacho.

Regardless of forcing his means onto the fringes of Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans within the 2018/19 season, the Portuguese winger turned down a contract extension at Liverpool in favour of a return to Sporting Lisbon.

18 months on, he’s caught in Sporting’s reserves and, if a suggestion arrives between now and the switch deadline, the Primeira Liga giants would money in on their £7 million forgotten man in a heartbeat (Desporto).

However Camacho is just not the one one-time Anfield starlet who might dwell to remorse turning his again on the present champions of England.

Chatting with The National in the summer of 2019, Bobby Adekanye admitted that he had been supplied a three-year contract by Liverpool.

However, with Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Divock Origi all forward of him within the pecking order, the one-time Barcelona teen understandably had doubts about whether or not he might get hold of the first-team soccer he needed at Anfield.

“Liverpool supplied me a three-year contract, however I didn’t actually see any plans for me sooner or later,” stated Adekanye, who spent 4 years at Liverpool after honing his abilities at PSV, Ajax and Barca.

“Lazio had been very formidable, they usually confirmed me that they needed me within the workforce, and that they’d some fairly good plans for the longer term.”

A year-and-a-half after shifting to Rome, nevertheless, Adekanye has performed simply 177 minutes of Serie A soccer.

And after a disastrous mortgage spell at Cadiz – throughout which he didn’t dislodge a 35-year-old Alvaro Negredo – Adekanye is now being farmed out once more, this time to an Emmen workforce hurtling in the direction of relegation to the Dutch second tier (Diario de Cadiz).

With simply 5 factors to this point, Emmen are the one workforce in Europe’s main leagues with no single win to their title in 2020/21.

At simply 21, Adekanye has loads of time to show issues round at Lazio. However this isn’t how he envisaged his profession going when he turned his again on Liverpool.
