‘There were no Spanish giants!’ – Jamie Carragher reveals he had just two transfer offers during Liverpool career
JAMIE CARRAGHER has revealed he had just two transfer offers throughout his ENTIRE Liverpool career.
Rangers and Wigan reportedly came knocking but neither were very appealing to the Reds legend.
In a conversation with Gary Neville the pair revealed they never had much transfer interest from other clubs - they put that down to the loyal commitment they had to Manchester United and Liverpool
But Carragher could have jumped ship towards the end of his career - like friend and long-term team-mate Steven Gerrard did when he joined LA Galaxy.
Carragher told : "I had a couple [of offers] at the end of my career when I couldn't get in the team.
"I think Ally McCoist tried to get me up to Rangers and Roberto Martinez told me he tried to get me to Wigan to play in a back three.
"This was when we worked together afterwards - I wasn't aware of this so whether he was just buttering me up I don't know.
"So it was either SPL or the bottom of the Prem for me - no Spanish giants I can assure you!"

When the offer came from McCoist, Rangers were not even in the top-flight!
Wigan would have at least offered Premier League football and would go on to win the FA Cup in 2012-13 - Carragher's final season.
Interestingly, Carragher's son James now plays for the Latics and captained Wigan under-18s as they won the Professional Development League North last season.
