This surprise: refused higher money and the opportunity to play in the "Premier" league.

29-year-old Estonian defender Ragnar Klavan surprised the German football community by refusing a higher salary and the opportunity to play in the English Premier League.

"Bild" reported that Augsburg's footballer was seriously interested in the Liverpool Everton team, but the player immediately said a strict "no."

Klavan, who has established himself in the Bundesliga club, became one of the team's defensive pillars and helped M. Weinzierl's players finish in a record 5th place in the championship.

"We feel very good here - both me and my family. Augsburg will play in the Europa League, and this is a great reward for the results of last season. It will be difficult to play twice a week, but every footballer wants that," said Klavan.
