I think this was dismissed earlier. Essentially the story goes that earlier in the season Liverpool were thinking about it, but the success Conte has had, and Son's golden boot put a stop to it.
Not sure why they thought a mediocre season would have made him attainable. Son signed a new contract even before Conte took charge.
Arguably looked very out of place in the Conte system earlier this year (Jan/Feb time?) so wouldn't have been inconceivable that they thought he'd be surplus to Conte's plan.
