Transfer: “My one regret with Liverpool” — Jamie Carragher

Pending the announcement of Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, Liverpool still remain relatively quiet in the current transfer window.

Club legend Jamie Carragher has revealed the one player he wishes the Reds had snapped up this summer— Chelsea’s new signing Pedro Neto.

Despite Liverpool’s strong start under Arne Slot, Carragher couldn’t hide his admiration for the former Wolves winger, labeling him a player who could have been a game-changer at Anfield.

Early days: Why Liverpool fans should not get carried away

Carragher’s comments on Monday Night Football reflect his belief that Neto, now donning Chelsea blue, possesses the pace, quality, and goal-scoring ability to excel at the highest level—attributes that could have made him a perfect fit for Liverpool’s dynamic attack. The ex-Liverpool defender lamented Neto’s injury woes but insisted that, if fit, the 24-year-old could be a world-class talent capable of playing for any top team.

“He’s a player I have always watched for Wolves in the last three or four years, who I’ve always thought, ‘I’d love Liverpool to sign him’. I just look at the pace and the quality on the ball, he scores goals, and I just hope he stays fit.”

With Neto coming off the bench in Chelsea’s opener against Manchester City, Carragher’s regret highlights what could have been for Liverpool.

The Reds, still without a marquee signing this window, may rue missing out on a player Carragher clearly views as a potential superstar. As Neto settles into life at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool fans might wonder if he’s the one that got away, especially if he hits the heights Carragher envisions.

Will Neto become a standout performer at Chelsea, proving Carragher right, or will Liverpool’s restraint in the market pay off as Slot continues to build his team?
