Klopp will continue, “things will change” and Matheus Nunes and Bellingham are playing

the period of Liverpool This is not really what was expected for the fans of the reds, or for Jurgen Klopp. The German coach faced the wolves in the ‘replay’, the repetition, of the match of round 3 of FA Cup.

the red ones, ninth in the Premier League and now 10 points from the Champions League zone and 19 behind leaders Arsenal, they face the match against Wolverhampton with the idea of ​​reaching the next round of the FA Cup and continuing to opt for a title in a season in the making. less than expected, expected. In addition, the main goal is to offer a better face than before Brighton & Hove Albionsomething “not too difficult” after conceding 3-0 on Saturday at the Amex Stadium, Klopp himself said.

At Anfield they had to change and Jürgen explained his feelings and intentions for the future. One thing is clear: Klopp is not leaving Liverpool. However, it heralds changes for the future. He explained that he is not “too loyal” to players who have been at the club for a long time and are performing below expected levels, referring to the fact that he does not use these players by name or seniority alone, but rather the lack of replacements for the long list of wounded he had forced him to continue picking them.

“I’m loyal, I think everyone should be loyal, but I’m not ‘too’ loyal.. You have a great player who has done a lot of great things in the past and then maybe in your mind you think: ‘That’s it for him now.’ If you can bring in another player to replace him, then it makes sense to both sides. If you don’t bring anything, you don’t get anything in the eleven, that’s the situation.”Klopp assured.

The German coach recalled a similar situation when he left the Borussia Dortmund in 2015: “When I left Dortmund, I said: ‘Something has to change here’. There the situation is different, but in a certain way it is similar. Either I leave… or many other things change.”said Klopp, who renewed until 2026 and his position was never in question for FSG (Fenway Sports Group). “As far as I know, from what I’ve heard, I’m not leaving. So that means there might be a point where we need to change something else and we’ll see. But it’s something for the future, like summer, not now”.

In this sense, in the environment of Liverpool, another player was requested for a long time midfield. The daily call is that of Jude Bellingham. At Anfield they trust his arrival, beyond the price that Dortmund can ask (between 100 and 150 million euros) and that Christian Falkof Bild, explained in December to The Anfield Wrap that “His father Mark, his mother Denise and agent Mark Bennett are really focused on Liverpool.”

However, in the last few hours, Paul Joyce of The Times has been ascertained Liverpool not only go with the clear intention of taking Bellingham for the summer, but also, with Matheus Nunes, from Wolves. The 24-year-old Portuguese midfielder’s contract expires in 2027 and at the beginning of January The Telegraph reported that Liverpool were re-negotiating for Matheus Nunes for close to €50 million. In this sense, Paul Joyce explained that the red club will go for two players for next summer.

This winter has come Cody Gakpo but to cover the casualties of the attack of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota. The Portuguese, for his part, aims to play against Real Madrid on February 21 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 at Anfield: “If Diogo can play in the Champions League? From my point of view, yes.”

Speaking of leaving, same Naby Keita What Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain They ended their contract in June and are now hinting that they will be leaving free in summer. however, James Milner and Roberto Firminowho also ended their contract in 2023, it is likely that they will sign a Contract extension.
