Liverpool Coach Keen to Sign Barcelona Bad Boy
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, is reportedly interested in signing Barcelona’s troubled forward, Ousmane Dembele, in the January transfer window.
According to reports, the 21-year-old Frenchman – who moved from Borussia Dortmund to the Catalan giants in August last year for £135.5 million – has endured a tough season with the club.
The forward has been said to have shown a lack of professionalism, and that he frequently arrives late at team meetings. He was also omitted from the squad for last Sunday’s 4-3 defeat to Real Betis after missing training earlier in the week due to a supposed illness.
Despite this, Klopp is apparently eager to sign Dembele for £85 million in order to improve Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League championship in the 2018/2019 season.
However, the player’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, said: “There is no doubt about [Dembele’s] future [with Barcelona] at all … I also spoke with [Barcelona director] Eric Abidal, and he told me that he’s very happy with him, that he’s training very well.”
