Jurgen Klopp often proved to be something of a secret weapon while he was in charge of Liverpool’s transfer strategy.Footballers always want to work with the best in the business and in Klopp, the Reds had someone who any player would have been delighted to call their boss.Not only was the German a terrific manager, he is also a magnetic and empathetic human being. Although he is no longer taking hands-on control of a football club, the 57-year-old seems like he has taken those same qualities into his new role with Red Bull.That’s judging by a tale told from Liverpool target Yan Diomande, who has hailed Klopp’s welcome after he joined RB Leipzig this summer.

Given his job as the Global Head of Soccer for Red Bull, there is a chance that Klopp had something to do with Diomande’s arrival in the Bundesliga.Whether that was the case or not, the former Liverpool manager was certainly keen to make his presence felt as soon as the teenaged talent joined.

“I’ve admired Klopp since his time in Liverpool. As a result, Liverpool appear to have a very healthy relationship with Red Bull, and Klopp’s arrival will only strengthen that.Clearly, Leipzig will not want to be losing their best players – and Diomande is quickly becoming one of those – but as those previous sales show, they will move them on if their demands are met.If Diomande is up for sale in the near future, then Klopp’s presence in his life may just give Liverpool the edge they need.
