Jean Deza was close to playing for Liverpool, but because of the president of Montpellier, it didn't happen. The Peruvian was one of the talents who was able to reach Europe, however, a bad head caused his career to collapse. Few know the story that Deza was close to joining the Anfield team, but due to technical reasons he could not join. At that time Jean Deza's pass was worth $2 million dollars according to Transfermarkt.

Jhonier Montaño, Jean Deza's teammate, told a story that few knew: "When Peru played friendlies against Switzerland and England prior to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, an offer for Jean Deza arrived at the Montpellier offices. It was Liverpool that wanted to have However, the president didn't want to. My brother told me. My brother was the president's right-hand man. But the president told them that he still had a lot to give to the club," Jhonier confessed. Montaño in Movistar Deportes.

Rumors or stories have always existed of Peruvians who were able to reach great international teams, but for reasons A or B it was not possible, such as with Juan Vargas to Real Madrid, Jefferson Farfán himself could play for Arsenal or Claudio Pizarro. In AC Milan, great exponents who were close to achieving great opportunities, but that did not materialize.

What is Jean Deza currently doing?

Currently, the Peruvian plays for Sport Huancayo in Peru's League 1, his pass is valued at $125 thousand dollars. It was worth almost $1 million dollars, the truth is that it is an example of another career that was frustrated due to leadership issues. Perhaps Deza's future if he signed for Liverpool would have been totally different.
