Liverpool
Agent says Jürgen Klopp should complete a “super” cut-rate deal, making Liverpool his “dream” team.

An agent has revealed his client dreams of clubs like ‘Liverpool’ and could be an ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield next season.
Mohamed Salah is an elite footballer, but as he grows up, Liverpool can’t afford to rely on him alone forever. Sooner or later Jürgen Klopp has to find a solution where he can rest his top man and give him some respite during the busy seasons.
There is currently no one in the Liverpool squad who can cover Salah on the right wing. Diogo Jota has played there in the past, but he’s more effective in other roles and doesn’t have an outstanding resume.
Harvey Elliott could be another option, but in Liverpool’s system he’s better suited to a midfield role as the 20-year-old simply doesn’t have the speed and explosiveness to play in all three first of the Reds.
Other options like Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon are still in their infancy and Liverpool cannot rely on them either as Doak and Gordon need time to adjust to the demands of senior football.
That’s why the Reds should consider the market for another forward option this summer. Roberto Firmino’s departure leaves the Brazilian free in attack and Liverpool should look to fill that gap with a replacement option for Salah.
One player who could be an interesting candidate for the role is Hirving Lozano. Lozano, a fringe member of Napoli’s Scudetto-winning squad in Italy, is keen to take on new responsibilities this summer and recently his agent Alessandro Monfrecola made an interesting plea for Liverpool to be dropped by name.
Mondo Napoli writes that Lozano’s agent appeared as a guest on a radio show on Punto Nuovo where he was asked about his client and Monfrecola said the following:
“West Ham and Aston Villa have shown interest in Lozano but it seems to be a half-hearted interest. Lozano has always dreamed of clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United so I don’t think he can be particularly attracted to them [the two others].”]”
For the right price, Liverpool should consider making Lozano’s offer a reality. Although he hasn’t really started at Napoli yet, Lozano isn’t a bad option as a squad player if you take him off the bench or use him occasionally – for example when Salah is out at the CAN.
He finished the season with eight goals in 2075 minutes, averaging 0.35 goals per 90 minutes.
One would expect an offensive player to deliver a much better return on average, but considering Lozano has mostly been used off the bench, that’s not a bad return. Last season he finished the season in much better form with 12 goals in 1998 minutes.
With his contract expiring next summer and the player clearly willing to move elsewhere, there is the possibility that a favorable deal will be struck for Liverpool.
At the right price, he’s worth a try, especially as before moving to Napoli, Lozano was on Liverpool’s radar and Klopp has spoken highly of him in the past.
During the 2019/20 season, when Liverpool faced Napoli in the Champions League group stage, Klopp had this to say about Lozano during his press conference:
“He IS a great player, a super player. Big signing. I thought he was very good but he went to Napoli but seriously he is a very good player. Very good striker, interesting, he played very well in the first game against him.
Having already received Klopp’s stamp of approval, Liverpool should be tempted to back Lozano and help Salah.

Watch the amazing timeline of the Anfield Road expansion from 2021 to 2023.
Anfield are just months away from unveiling their brand new look and the nearly two-year expansion schedule is a fascinating sight.
Jurgen Klopp’s groundbreaking ceremony at the end of September 2021 kicked off Anfield Road’s latest extension, a project that will take the stadium’s capacity to over 61,000.
What was once a car park and fan zone is now an impressive stand which, at 39 meters high, adds to the already incredible skyline.
Progress may have been gradual from the initial groundwork to the present day, but a timeline of aerial work shows just how impressive the renovation has been.
In the This Is Anfield video you can see how dramatically the landscape has changed and how big the new Anfield Road End is.
The 300 ton roof truss proved to be a milestone in July 2022, requiring two 600 ton cranes at a height of 164 meters for its easy assembly.
It stood on the existing structure and was ready for the construction of the new roof before the old one was demolished at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Today, the new upper level is structurally complete after the removal of the old upper level and the installation of solar panels on the new roof.
The new pitch is to be moved next week. The construction time is only three days and will require a three week wait before it is operational.
The internal work is ongoing and although there is still work to be done for the Buckingham Group contractors, Liverpool are still planning their first home game against Bournemouth on August 19.
It won’t be long before the transformation is complete, but the progress so far is even clearer thanks to the progress timeline from 2021 to 2023.
