"I missed England," Borini told Tamsaha.com when explaining why he left Roma to join the Reds just weeks after joining the Serie A club permanently from Parma.
"Apart from that, Liverpool is a very good club. In fact, it is the best club in the world for me.
"In my opinion, the team with the highest number of fans in the world… You cannot easily say "No" when such clubs come to you. I had a huge shot for me and I accepted it.
"The reason I (then) switched from Liverpool to Sunderland was because of my desire to be an important player in a team.
"After coming back to Liverpool, I couldn't get enough games so I went back to Sunderland.
"I had a few injuries [at Liverpool], but I enjoyed my time there."
Fabio Borini was the first signing if the Brendan Rodgers era but failed to make any significant impact with Liverpool, managing just 25 appearances and 2 goals for the Reds.
Borini now plays for Fatih Karagümrük in the Turkish Super Lig where he has 5 goals in 10 appearances.
