Jonjo Shelvey believes Liverpool undersold him when he left the club in the summer of 2013.
At the age of 21, the midfielder joined Swansea City for £5million after deciding he wanted to move on.
And the Newcastle man had his say on why he wanted to leave Anfield, in an interview with the Studs Up Podcast.
He said: “I wanted to go somewhere and not worry about if you have one bad game you’re still going to play, and I’d had that at Charlton.
“When you go to Liverpool, you play a game and someone comes back from injury and they’ve got a bigger name and they’re straight back in the team even if you’d done really well – I wanted to get away from that.”
Shelvey had made almost 50 Premier League appearances when he left the Reds and Swansea sold the now 29-year-old for £12m in 2016.
On the transfer away from Anfield, Shelvey said: “I would say I was quite cheap at the time.”
