Ragna Klavan explains why he moved to Cagliari

Ragna Klavan has revealed those behind his low-key move to Italian club Cagliari

The Estonia skipper, who penned a two-year contract with Cagliari after a £2million fee was agreed, recorded only 53 appearances for Liverpool following his arrival back in 2016.

The 32-year-old defender had mostly played from the bench under Jurgen Klopp and a move to the Serie A club could offer him regular game time for the rest of his career.

Klavan who has now joined the Serie A outfit has mentioned several Liverpool players who backed him to opt for a move to the Serie A despite interest from other top European League clubs.

"I had offers from several teams, including in other countries, but Cagliari really wanted me," Klavan told Sky Sport Italia.

"Darijo Srna advised me to come here, as I talked to him via Dejan Lovren.

"Other Liverpool teammates like Alisson, Salah and Lucas Leiva all spoke highly of Serie A.

"I'm certain we'll do great things here and I am really fired up. The city is wonderful and so are the fans, I can’t wait to get started."
