Aside from the record signing of Darwin Nunez for nearly €100m, the only new addition to Liverpool’s midfield is the addition of Fabio Carvalho for €9m. The Portuguese midfielder will boost Klopp’s rate who doesn’t mind getting more players, he admitted in a press conference.
Klopp replied: “Can you tell me what kind of player is missing?” The German coach, who was able to count on Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Milner, Keita, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho and Oxlade-Chamberlain. They’re nine midfield players who totally satisfy Klopp, even though he wants to cover his back
He said: “We are looking to buy another midfielder, I can say. I don’t know what will happen in the middle of the field. You never know, if someone came to me and said “I want to leave”…but no one has come to tell me yet. If that happens, we’ll have to talk again.”
At the press conference for the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, which will be held on Tuesday in Bangkok, on the occasion of the English teams’ tour in Thailand, Jurgen Klopp attended the media and did not miss the opportunity to talk about Judd Bellingham. The midfielder is only 19 years old, but he is already one of the names in the transfer market and the Reds are part of his list.
That’s why, when Klopp was asked about the lack of investment in signings for midfield, Bellingham’s name came up and the Liverpool boss was very blunt: “He’s not in the market, so that’s the number one problem with this player. Well, it’s the only problem with this player!” , the German, a recognized fan of the England international, admitted.
100 million euros, not an option for this summer transfer market, but it will be in 2023. What’s more, after the Bundesliga team lost to Erling Haaland just a few weeks ago.
Thus, Dortmund is not considering selling Bellingham, with whom he has a contract until 2025, and can wait for the release of the player who is considered one of the most desirable pieces in the market: Real Madrid also wants to sign him and he can return to enter into his battle because of him with Liverpool, as happened recently with Chwamini.
