It has been a while since Gonzalo Higuain has been linked with a potential move to the Reds this summer and the Reds are reportedly close to signing the player.
The Reds boss was pictured in the stands of the Levi’s Stadium as Argentina began their campaign with a 2-1 win in Santa Clara.
Higuain has just come off the back of a sensational season that saw him score an incredible 36 goals in just 35 Serie A games as Napoli finished runners-up behind champions Juventus.
Liverpool are said to be in the market for a left-back, so he could have been watching Eugenio Mena – Chile’s left-back from Sao Paulo FC – one doubts Klopp is even thinking about Argentina’s Marcos Rojo – now of Manchester United.
If Liverpool can somehow contrive to sign Higuain, it will be (IMO) one of the most exciting transfers in years. Pictures don’t lie, though – Klopp chose to watch the Argentina game alongside the Agent of one of the world’s most prolific strikers, and that strongly suggests that something is happening behind the scenes.
