Liverpool Are Bigger Than Juventus, Says Sissoko
Mohamed Sissoko has explained that he rejected the chance to join Juventus in the summer as he believes Liverpool are "a much bigger club".
The midfielder is no longer certain of a place in Rafa Benitez's first choice team, but nonetheless the 22-year-old insists he is happy to be at Liverpool and he wants to stay with the club for as long as possible.
It is claimed that Juventus offered £10m for the Malian, who joined Liverpool from Valencia for £5m two years ago.
"I believed that Liverpool are a much bigger club than Juventus and decided not to speak to them any longer," he told the Daily Star Sunday.
"I'm a Liverpool player and I want to show to the people here, to everyone, that I'm already at a big club.
"I'm happy to be in Liverpool. I did want to stay despite the interest. That's why I signed a new contract.
"There are five midfielders for two positions. I'm happy in Liverpool and I want to play for the club as long as I can."
