Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp strikes secret transfer agreement which he must honour


Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has lifted the lid on secret transfer agreements he makes with players once they join his set-up at Anfield. The German has been astute in the transfer window since taking charge of the Reds.

Klopp has put together one of the best teams in the world and they are on course to win the Premier League title this year.

Liverpool are expected to dip into the transfer market again this summer to add a little bit of depth to the squad.

And Klopp has revealed the conversation he holds with new signings which includes a vow of his own.

“When we have this agreement, everything was fine, everything was good, that’s why we talked, that’s why we signed you, but from now on I expect much more,” Klopp said.

“For that, he gets more than he ever got before; more attention, more education, hopefully better training – that’s a clear agreement.

“If he is not happy with one of these parts, he can come to me and tell me, ‘You told me that, it didn’t happen’.

“If I am not happy with one of the things he agreed, I will go to him and tell him, ‘You said this and that, you didn’t do that – why?’ This is a clear deal, but a handshake deal, not written down.”

Klopp won many plaudits while in charge of his previous club Borussia Dortmund for his high-pressing game style.

He has continued with that philosophy at Liverpool as their attackers work harder than most.

And Klopp has explained how he wants his style to be noticed by supporters all around the world.

“We have a few clear rules how we want to play, how we want to defend, where we want to defend, where we want to pass,” he continued.

“It’s not that we have a book and give it to read it, then you know it. These are the kinds of things; how lively are we? How positive? How brave? Absolutely important for the boys, through all the ranks and through all the teams.

“Is a 10-year-old too young for it? I’m not an expert. It’s not that intense actually, it’s just a specific way.

“But 17, 18, 19, 20 you are for sure old enough and that’s exactly the moment.

“My dream was always that we can play in any random shirt but if you watch us playing you say, ‘Ah, that’s Liverpool’. The identity is that clear that everybody would say ‘Oh, that’s Liverpool’. That’s what we try.”
