Liverpool fans react to Jurgen Klopp’s comments about Ousmane Dembele.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp suggested on Sunday that he may be interested in signing Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.
The French starlet has struggled to adapt to life at Camp Nou since his £95 million move from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
Asked in a press conference via The Daily Mail whether he was interested, the Liverpool boss said: “Is he on the market? Now I’m interested.”
Inevitably, Klopp’s admission of possible interest has prompted a reaction from fans of the Anfield club, and here is how they reacted to the prospect of signing the 20-year-old.
Feasible?
Possibly signing Dembele is undoubtedly exciting, but is it realistic? Well, according to CIES Football Observatory, his value has plummeted to only £63 million, but are Barcelona likely to sell him for that? It’s very unlikely.
Despite a tough first season, which includes only nine Primera Division starts, Dembele certainly has the talent to be an absolute star at some point in the future and if Liverpool genuinely want him, they’ll have to cough up a lot more than £63 million – and a lot more than the £95 million that Barca paid less than 12 months ago.
