After a few weeks full of controversy with the public fights between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, the Portuguese star with his statements got the Reds Devils to separate him from the group in order to mutually terminate the contract he still had with the institution, focusing for the moment on his participation in the World Cup, while several clubs in Europe are already preparing an offer to get his services.

Ronaldo's lack of play this season is perhaps the biggest problem that a club may encounter when looking to sign him as their main striker, but institutions such as Liverpool, who benefit from his great team spirit, could possibly make him shine again and help him regain his confidence and goalscoring instinct to help the Reds achieve great objectives such as the Champions League or the Carabao Cup.

Although the Portugal striker is living his last moments as an elite sportsman, Jurgen Klopp does not want to waste those footballing virtues as former Reds manager Gérard Houllier, who admitted he was surprised to learn that a young Ronaldo would arrive at Manchester United for £12.2 million, did at the time.

Those around Liverpool at the time never denied the great qualities Cristiano had at Sporting Lisbon, so surprised were they that the Reds Devils signed the player for an exorbitant fee that made them gag when they received the news of the Portuguese's move to Old Trafford at lunchtime. We were having lunch at the training ground and it came over the yellow strap on Sky Sports: 'Manchester United have signed Cristiano Ronaldo for £12.2m'. Gerard and I nearly choked on our food."

For this occasion, the Reds do not want surprises and Jurgen Klopp intends to do things right to get the signing that almost two decades ago fell apart for lack of large financial resources. While it is true that today Liverpool is not living a very graceful moment with respect to the money in their coffers, this if they would have enough capital to bring the record man of Europe.
