While Guardiola despised him, the player Klopp desperately wants for Liverpool

Jürgen Klopp continues to search for his third reinforcement for next season, after the previous campaign ended with a resounding failure in which Liverpool failed to qualify for the next edition of the Champions League, and that is why the German tactician wants to continue signing players.

It is no secret that Klopp and the Anfield board have decided to prioritize the arrival of young players, especially after the departure of former stars such as Roberto Firmino, James Milner and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain. That is why Jürgen Klopp would have developed a list of possible candidates to arrive at Anfield this summer and, for now, he already has two targets completed.

Liverpool's third signing could be very close to being carried out, and Klopp's big priority would be a player whose potential is very high, which has aroused the interest, not only of Liverpool, but also of other teams. However, it is noteworthy that this player belonged to Manchester City just a year ago, but Pep Guardiola did not trust him and decided to let him go without knowing the player he would become.

We are talking about Romeo Lavia, the Southampton midfielder who is, according to several reports, the number one target currently for Liverpool, as Klopp considers that he can become one of the next stars of the team, which is why Southampton would have priced him at £50 million.

The difference between Klopp and Guardiola

While Pep Guardiola chooses to scorn potential stars of his team to concentrate on millionaire signings, Klopp has proven to be more visionary. The latest proof of this is Fabio Carvalho, one of Liverpool's top prospects whom RB Leipzig tried to buy outright. Klopp, knowing that Carvalho would not get much playing time next season, decided to let him leave, but only on loan and without an option to buy, thus ensuring that the Portuguese midfielder's future is at Anfield.
