Qatar 2022 World Cup activity is still in full swing. Unexpected results have occurred during the second day of the Group Stage that is giving the passes to the next round. Among these national teams that are having an abnormal tournament is Germany, a team that has only one point and complicates their passage to the Round of 16. But within the "Mannschaft" there is a player who has caught Klopp's attention.

The first-class match between the Spanish and the Germans left a pleasant taste in the mouth of the whole world. Two world champion powers played to a one-goal draw, leaving unforgettable plays and performances such as the one made by Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala, who at the age of 19 humiliated Luis Enrique's "La Furia" on his side of the pitch. Musiala has completed almost two starts in this World Cup, playing 78" minutes in the loss to Japan on matchday one.

Musiala has knowledge of English football, having been part of Chelsea FC's U18 team in 2018, which then let him go a year later to the Bundesliga where he has completed the youth divisions of Bayer Munich, until being taken into account by coach Hansi Flick in 2020 to take him to the first team. Interestingly, it was Flick who called up Jamal for his first World Cup experience, as Bayern had already made a bid for the German midfielder.

According to the portal Fichajes.com, Musiala's salary is much lower than that of the Red's Brazilian superstar Roberto Firmino, who was not included in the 23 selected by coach Tite to represent the "Canarinha" in this World Cup. Musiala earns 240 K euros a year, making him a real opportunity for Klopp as he looks to revamp Liverpool's midfield, with the likes of Thiago, Miller and Henderson living out their final years as professionals.

Klopp wants Musiala

The Bundesliga sensation Musiala will be an important player - just as he was against Spain - in Germany's final group game against Costa Rica (who have just beaten Japan) for a place in the last 16, and to avoid another ridiculous result like four years ago, when the Bavarians were knocked out of the World Cup in the same group stage.
