Liverpool Rejected by Axed Lyon Keeper Lopes, Reveals Decision

This season, OL coach Pierre Sage has chosen Lucas Perri over the Portugal goalkeeper as the starting goalkeeper for the team.

Lopes says he rejected a major club move to stay with OL over the summer, with L'Equipe stating the club in question was Liverpool.

He said, "I had transfer opportunities at the beginning of the market. Especially one, to a big European team.

"Honestly, it wasn't my goal at that time to be number 2, but my choice would have been different if they had contacted me at the end of August."
