It has been widely documented that Jurgen Klopp wasn’t initially a fan of the signing of Mohamed Salah for Liverpool. He didn’t want to sign Mo Salah, he wanted to sign Julian Brandt and Liverpool had tried to sign Salah when he was at Chelsea, so the people behind the scenes were still there.” “Salah then went to Roma, and they were very adamant that ‘No, we have to sign this player.’ And then you look at what Mo Salah has done.
It can easily go the other way, but I do feel that this idea that manager should just buy a player; I don’t think it’s right.” Carragher mentioned there how Julian Brandt was Jurgen Klopp’s ideal target to fill that attacking area of the pitch that summer. I think we can only be grateful to him; he played for us for seven years.” Julian Brandt could’ve ended up in Liverpool if the club had gone with Jurgen Klopp’s wishes back in the summer of 2017, paving a very different career path for the German international.
