It’s not often that Liverpool bring an established superstar to Anfield under Jürgen Klopp, aside from Thiago Alcantara of course.
Under the German’s reign, Liverpool have instead signed exciting players on the cusp of greatness, such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
However, there is another superstar – like Thiago – who could be moving to Merseyside very soon.
What’s the story?
Well, Mundo Deportivo believe Ousmane Dembele has been offered to Liverpool.
The £212,000-a-week man’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, is trying to move his client away from Barcelona, with his contract set to expire in June.
According to Cuatro, Sissoko has approached Liverpool to enquire about the potential bonuses and benefits of a move to Anfield.
Dembele has actually missed 96 games for Barcelona due to injuries, which could potentially put Liverpool off.
However, Klopp’s previous comments on the Frenchman suggest he may well be interested in handing the 24-year-old a contract.
What has Jürgen Klopp said about Ousmane Dembele?
Back in May 2018, Klopp was told Liverpool had agreed a deal for Nabil Fekir during a post-match press conference.
The German was also asked about reported interest in Dembele.
Having disregarded the Fekir comment, Klopp’s eyes widened when hearing Dembele’s name.
He then said: “Oooo. He’s on the market? Now I am interested.”
Of course, it appeared to be a tongue-in-cheek comment, but the former Borussia Dortmund boss did not backtrack on his remark.
In our view, the winger would be an excellent addition on a free transfer, despite his injury problems.
Could we see Klopp and Dembele united at Liverpool? Only time will tell.
