Jurgen Klopp’s seemingly imminent return to football management with the German national team could have numerous benefits for Liverpool.Klopp can surely improve Florian Wirtz under his watchful eye, which should have a knock-on effect to how the No. 7 fares with Andoni Iraola at Anfield.But though Wirtz is currently the only Liverpool player Klopp will be working with, there may be one or two come who come in later down the line.

How does Andoni Iraola fit Wirtz and Isak into Liverpool’s starting XI next season?

I’ve still got question marks about him,” he said in June.Photo by Pau Barrena/Getty ImagesREAD MORE: What Bradley Barcola’s comments about his future really mean for Liverpool’s hopes of signing himThough those doubts will remain until he proves them to be unfounded, Klopp has shown some serious form for developing young, slightly raw wingers.Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were more polished – and a fair bit older – than El Mala when Klopp got his hands on them at Liverpool, but the Reds know he can turn potential into something special.El Mala was called up to the Germany squad for the November friendlies, although did not make his debut, and he will no doubt be one of the young players the former Liverpool manager has an eye on developing.If the Reds see enough potential to bank on that coming to fruition with the help of Klopp, it may be worth them paying the reported €50m to sign him from Koln this summer.Angelo can Still-er be the one for Liverpool’s midfieldWhile it is true that international performances will never really be a factor in deciding which players Liverpool try and sign, having Klopp at the helm could change that.If the Reds are interested in German players, they will have someone who they can easily lean on for advice about temperament and character, as well as what they are like to work and train with. One player who could now be worth Liverpool fans keeping a closer eye on is Stiller, who has been mooted as a potential addition to the midfield since 2024.The Reds have still not signed a new midfielder since missing out on Martin Zubimendi two years ago, and as they aim to change that this summer, Stiller is one to watch.Klopp will clearly not have worked with the 25-year-old yet if Liverpool pull the trigger on him in the next two months, but, like with El Mala, they may add a couple of points to his score on the basis that Klopp will likely improve him in the years to come.Liverpool will have their own targets and ideas aside from these two, but they now have as much of a ‘man on the inside’ as they are ever going to, and they should use that to their advantage.
