Liverpool tried to strengthen itself with Virgil van Dijk in the past transfer period.However, the defender of Southampton was not allowed to leave his club.The Reds did not get any other central defender because no player met the demands of manager Jürgen Klopp.
In conversations with the English media, Klopp denies that alternatives to Van Dijk have been overlooked.He is satisfied with his current defenders:”We’ve all looked at them over five hundred million times.And to reassure people, what if the new player makes a mistake right away?A mistake made by all the defenders.But then you will hear:’ he is a purchase of 65 million, he gets even better’.But why should the others not be able to do so?I do not understand’.
It is not that we ignore it, I said that if there had been a solution that we would have done it “, Klopp feels like getting an alternative to Van Dijk,” I had to make a decision and felt that our current players are no worse than they are.If there is nobody, if there is no solution and if it is not a qualitative addition, then you have to do it and that is what we will do “.
