Top Five Players Who Made Liverpool Regret Selling Them

The transfer window is not just about buying players, but selling them too. Here is are the top five  players Liverpool regret Selling. 

5 Fernando Torres (Sold to Chelsea)

4 Raheem Sterling (Moved to Manchester City)

Raheem Sterling's move from Liverpool to Manchester City was inevitable, after the 20-year-old forward had forced the club's hand with the help of his agent, Aidy Ward.

The pair's relationship with Rodgers became untenable, and with owners John W. Henry and Tom Werner rightly backing manager over player that summer, they could do little more than sell to the highest bidder.

But with the club's backing of Rodgers becoming more questionable as the first months of 2015/16 played out, with the former Swansea City manager eventually being dismissed at the beginning of October, Henry and Werner may have privately regretted their decision.

3 Danny Ings (Sold to Real Madrid)

Were it not for terrible luck with injuries, Ings’ Liverpool career may have turned out very differently. Sadly, serious injuries to both knees ended effectively ended his hopes of establishing himself at Anfield after he had made a promising start to life on Merseyside. After spending the 2018-19 season on loan at Southampton, the transfer was made permanent for £18million plus a further £2million in add-ons. He almost came back to haunt the Reds, scoring off the bench against Klopp’s men last season, only for Liverpool to run out 2-1 winners at St Mary’s. Note this, any forward who joins the Reds right now must be content knowing they’re back up for Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

2 Xabi Alonso (Sold to Real Madrid)

We made a huge mistake selling Alonso in 2009, as he was a pillar in our midfield. As much as we respect him, it’s astonishing that former liverpool coach, Benitez thought he could replace a player of his ability with Aquilani. I know his first target was Gareth Barry but we shouldn’t have settled until Benitez was certain he had found a reliable player.

1 Luis Suarez (Sold to Barcelona)

Seven years ago today, Luis Suarez was sold to Barcelona for a Liverpool club record fee of £75million. The Uruguayan forward made 133 appearances for Liverpool, scoring an impressive 82 times and grabbing a respectable 29 assists. He was Anfield’s 'Lovable Rogue' - Reds fans loved him; rival fans hated him. That's just how it went. Considering this, his departure from the club understandably hurt Liverpool fans. Although they were aware that moving to Barcelona had been somewhat of a lifelong dream for Suarez, it didn’t make it any easier
