Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp ‘broke’ Premier League rule to fulfil promise to Harvey Elliott

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reportedly ‘broken’ Premier League rules to keep his promise to midfielder Harvey Elliott.

Klopp’s managerial skills are one of his best qualities as a manager, with many players saying they enjoy playing under him.
In an interview with Sky Sports in 2020, Manchester United legend Gary Neville revealed that, apart from Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager he would most like to play under in his career is the German.

Klopp has turned Liverpool into perennial title contenders since arriving at Anfield in 2015.
Last season was a remarkable one.
He led Manchester United to the Premier League title in 2020, a year after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to win his sixth Champions League title.

Klopp used a consistent line-up in 2019/20, with six players playing more than 35 of the 38 games.
Roberto Firmino, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold were always there.

This meant that although some of the younger members of the squad, including Curtis Jones and Neko Williams, made the five appearances required to win a Premier League medal, other players had limited opportunities.
However, Harvey Elliott played just two games this season and was ineligible for a medal.

But the midfielder said Klopp had “broken” Premier League rules and confirmed he will receive a medal to mark his incredible season.
In an interview with the Liverpool Echo, Elliott explained: “I’m not sure if it’s [Klopp’s] medal.
It could have been Klopp’s medal but I ended up winning it.

“After the parade and presentation, I went into the locker room and they gave it to me.
“I can’t put into words how I felt.
I felt really good and I could say to my mom and dad: [I have a medal! I have a medal!” I sent a photo.

“They were down too so we went and looked around and had a little party.
“I felt really good.”

Trindade Andre Liverpool transfer news as the president of Fluminense provides an update following their January “agreement.”

Mario Bittencourt, the president of Fluminense, provided an update on Andre Trindade, a transfer target for Liverpool.

Mario Bittencourt, the president of Fluminense, has acknowledged that he anticipates Andre Trindade, a target for Liverpool, leaving the team in January.

Midway through their domestic season, Fluminense informed the Reds that they had no intention of moving the midfield player. The Reds had contacted the Brazilian club in the summer.

A choice of that kind was taken with the intention of winning the Copa Libertadores. And in an update on the Brazil international’s future, Bittencourt said he anticipates receiving a club-record bid for Andre following next month’s FIFA Club World Cup. Fluminense defeated Boca Juniors in Saturday’s final to win South American championships for the first time in their history.

“We have to wait. There isn’t a specific idea for Andre as of yet,” he said to Globo. However, we have little doubt that a soaring proposal will come after the World Cup—which he will play in.

“It might be the club’s largest sale ever.” Both Andre and Nino, the defender, are potential losses, but we are trying to find their replacements.

In the meantime, Andre’s representative, Carlos Leite, has revealed the details of his discussions with Bittencourt about his client’s future at the beginning of the year and in the summer, hinting at Liverpool’s rumoured summer bid.

The president of Fluminense requested a meeting with Leite at the beginning of 2023 in order to express his desire for the midfield player to remain at Fluminense until January 2024.

Leite told Globo, “He came to me and said that Fluminense had no interest in selling André this year.” “I spoke with the player and gave him an explanation; he accepted the concept. We decided that it would only be exchanged starting in January 2024.

“It might be the club’s largest sale ever.” Both Andre and Nino, the defender, are potential losses, but we are trying to find their replacements.

Unless Fluminense has a change of heart. He is not obligated to sell anyone, therefore he had no need to sit with me. But this was his worry.

“He lacks the conceit and haughtiness that some people possess, saying things like, ‘Find my director.'”

In the summer, Liverpool made a £150 million overhaul of their midfield by adding Ryan Gravenberch, Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Alexis Mac Allister. They haven’t had a natural first-choice holding midfielder since the unannounced departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia, though, which has forced them to negotiate with Fluminense after losing out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea.

While they primarily used Mac Allister as a holding midfielder in the interim, the Reds would eventually recruit Endo from VfB Stuttgart instead. However, it’s unclear if Liverpool intends to rekindle their interest in Andre come January.

His services are still being linked to teams other than the Reds. According to reports, they sent representatives to the Copa Libertadores final to watch the midfield player, along with Arsenal and Fulham.

But Andre will undoubtedly transfer for a record sum for Fluminense no matter where he ends up. In January 2016, Gerson signed a €17 million contract to join AS Roma, which is now their most costly exit
