The agent had made disparaging comments about the Liverpool manager.
Quoted by FourFourTwo, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has brushed off the recent criticism from ‘super agent’ Mino Raiola.
The agent, who represents Reds flop Mario Balotelli among a host of big-name clients, hit out at the German boss this week following the striker’s move to French side Nice.
The Italian finally departed Anfield on a free transfer after a disastrous spell on Merseyside.
He left after it was made clear by Klopp that he had no future at the club under his leadership, who even sent him to train with the Under-21s.
That infuriated Raiola, who labeled the German boss as ‘a piece of s**t’ because of his actions.
It doesn’t appear to have affected the Liverpool manager, though, who simply brushed it off when asked in his pre-match press conference.
“I know him. That’s all. Not interested, all good. It’s a free world,” he told FourFourTwo.
It remains to be seen if Liverpool regret allowing Balotelli leave Anfield this summer.
Given his form, over the last few years, it is hard to imagine that they will, but there is every chance he can reinvent himself in Ligue 1, as the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa have done already.
Should he do so, perhaps the Reds will look back and wonder what may have been.
