Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella has turned down a potential £3.5million move to Rosenborg.

The 21-year-old Spaniard was given permission to hold talks with the Norwegian outfit after a deal was agreed between the clubs last weekend.

Liverpool would have received £2.4million guaranteed with the fee potentially rising to £3.5million with add-ons.

The Reds had negotiated a buyback option for each of his first three seasons at Rosenborg.

However, following discussions with club officials Chirivella has decided that it wasn't the right move for him. He knows he needs to leave Liverpool in search of first-team football but is keen to keep his options open and would rather stay in England or return to Spain.

Chirivella, who has previously had loan spells at Go Ahead Eagles and Willem II in Holland, has two years remaining on his Liverpool contract.

He was left out of the Reds' squad for their training camp in France this week so he could pursue a move. He made five competitive first-team appearances for Liverpool following his arrival from Valencia in 2013.
