Klopp told to forget Gvardiol and make £80 million Liverpool signing

Gvardiol

LIVERPOOL have been told to forget about signing RB leipzig star Josko Gvardiol and spend that £80 million on a new midfielder.

Over the past few seasons Gvardiol has developed into one of the most sought after young defenders in Europe and has a host of big clubs reportedly interested in his services.

It is no secret that the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City have been keeping a close eye on the player in recent months and are ready to splash the cash and try to get a transfer deal done.

However – amid all the speculation and all the rumours – Agbonlahor has opened up and claimed that Liverpool should not splash £80 million on the defender and instead splash that cash on a new midfielder.

Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “I’ve watched Gvardiol play and I don’t think he’s worth £80million, to be honest.

“That’s a lot.

“If Liverpool look at their options – Van Dijk, Konate, Matip. Is he better than them?

“I think that £80million would be better spent in the midfield areas.

“I understand why Liverpool aren’t going through with it. If I was them, I’d rather buy a top central midfielder for £80million.

“Yes, it’s the going rate nowadays, but I think Gvardiol is a £50million player.”

Liverpool already have some top-class defenders – they have just had a poor season.

That midfield area does need to get freshened up – that is where the real issues have been this season and Klopp must already know who he would like.

£80 million would go along way into signing a top-class midfielder that is for sure
