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

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