Liverpool target Marco Rojas to realise dream by joining European club
Liverpool target Marco Rojas has confirmed he will leave Melbourne Victory to play in Europe next season.
The 21-year-old winger has attracted interest from Europe, including Liverpool, and it is believed Rojas has already held talks with teams in England and Germany.
The New Zealand international, who scored 15 goals in 27 games this season, spoke of his delight at the prospect of playing in Europe.
Rojas told AAP: “It’s every footballer’s dream to play in Europe and I’m over-the-moon to be able to say I’m about to live that dream very soon.”
Melbourne head coach Ange Postecoglou, though disppointed to be losing the A-League’s Player of the Year, hopes Rojas will be a big success in Europe.
He said: “While we would have loved to have seen him stay here at Melbourne Victory for a little longer, we knew we couldn’t stand in the way of his European ambitions.”
