Lucas Digne revealed he rejected Liverpool twice amid a row surrounding a tattoo across his chest after his move to Everton.
The 25-year-old joined the Toffees from Barcelona earlier this week for an £18m fee that could rise to £20m but Kop fans thought he may actually be a Red after noticing he has a tattoo which reads ‘I never walk alone’.
However, Digne confirmed that this has nothing to do with Liverpool and revealed that he turned the Merseyside club twice in the past.
The left-back explained that the tattoo is an homage to his parents who gave him a necklace with those words on it before his first day of school.
Digne told the Liverpool Echo: ‘There is nothing about football, it is just about my parents.
‘After when I was 18-years-old in Lille I got a tattoo and maybe the Liverpool fans are angry because I said, two times, ‘no’ to sign for Liverpool.’
Digne started his career at Lille in 2011 and then joined Paris Saint-Germain two years later where he made 44 appearances.
The France international moved to Barcelona in 2016 where he played 46 times and won the double last season with Ernesto Valverde’s side.
