“But there is no agreement that we can’t do business with Dortmund”. It’s a insane marketplace when you start doing this.
The Merseyside club lost only one match in all competitions since the former Borussia Dortmund manager took over the reins at the club.
“I have a good relationship with Borussia Dortmund and I have a very good relationship with all their players”.
“We’ve all done it. You go back because you know the player, you know his character, you know what he brings to the team both on and off the field”.
“But there is no agreement, of course not”.
“I have no agreement with Borussia Dortmund”, the Mirror reports him as saying.
The source also claims that former Liverpool loanee, Nuri Sahin, could also be considered by Klopp.
The situation led to Hummels imposing a ban on speaking to the media, but he now accepts that made the situation worse, adding: “When I consciously said nothing it became less objective”.
“But the only answer I can give is that we won’t do anything only because it’s possible”.
“We have absolutely no problem”, the centre-half stated.
“This decision isn’t for today or tomorrow, but we are always preparing for the moment”. Three injuries in one position, then you take what you can get.
It is in stark contrast to their prowess away from Anfield, where they’ve scored seven times in their last two outings against Man City and Chelsea. He is a big physical talent, really strong, it is not easy to get the ball from him. Liverpool should be securing certain positions with big money rather than paying £10m for a succession of “potentially” top stars – which was an issue under Brendan Rodgers.
