In the beginning of this month, Jurgen Klopp shocked the whole footballing community when he announced that he would be leaving Liverpool at the conclusion of the current season. The German manager has been identified with the Merseyside club over the course of the years, and in 2019, he even led them to victory in the UEFA Champions League.
During his time as manager of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has engaged in a number of conflicts with Real Madrid, both on and off the field. It goes without saying that these conflicts have been intense. The most recent instance of his being in second place is the competition for Jude Bellingham, which is an illustration of the fact that he has consistently placed in second place.
Prior to his move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2017, Liverpool and Real Madrid were the two key alternatives that Bellingham had available to him. Although the athlete was adamant about signing for Los Blancos, the Reds did not let this dissuade them from making a concerted attempt to complete the transaction.
In an interview that took place not so long ago, Jurgen Klopp stated that Liverpool did, in fact, have a significant interest in the English superstar. This information was communicated by Mundo Deportivo.
He said, “We were interested in Bellingham, but then we realized that it wouldn’t happen because we wouldn’t have money for anything else.” Bellingham was a potential location for the company.
The German strategist went on to expand on the reasons why his team decided to withdraw from the competition for the phenom, stating that their insatiable desire to get a number 6 was the constraining factor.
“All of a sudden, the entire market for the number ‘6’ skyrocketed,” the speaker said. A case involving two ‘6’s who had left the club was unique to our group. The market began to cool down.”
In the end, Bellingham agreed to sign with the Merengues in a transaction that was for 103 million euros, which is a sum that may be considered a steal at this point.
Over the course of his time at Madrid, which has lasted for just more than six months, he has established himself as a regular starter under Carlo Ancelotti and looks to be on the verge of being the new talisman for the squad.
