CHICAGO. — Brendan Rodgers has described the collapse of Loic Remy’s move as “unfortunate” but insisted Liverpool will be sticking by their decision.
Liverpool had agreed personal terms after triggering a move with £8.5million bid for the France international and had even allocated a squad number for him but, at the last minute, they were forced to pull up stumps on the deal after the player failed a medical.
The club have not given a specific reason over why they have chosen such a course of action but Rodgers, speaking after Liverpool had beaten Olympiacos 1-0 at Soldier Field in Chicago, offered his opinion and insisted his sympathies were with Remy.

He said: “It’s very simple we have made a decision as a club not to go ahead with the deal. It’s unfortunate for the player. We are disappointed for the player but there’s nothing more to be said and we will move on and look at other targets.”— Mailonline.
