It's an open secret that Jurgen Klopp has been talking on the phone for weeks to Timo Werner, whom he had even persuaded to sign for Liverpool. But the English had to throw in the towel because they were unable to afford the 60 million in his buyout clause. According to 'the Mirror', the German manager called the striker to explain.
Timo Werner is now reportedly close to joining Chelsea, who seems best placed to take the RB Leipzig striker at the moment.
Only a few weeks ago, Liverpool reportedly decided to throw in the towel for his transfer, apparently due to the obligation to pay the 60 million euros.
All this after months of continuous calls from Jürgen Klopp to the German striker, with whom he already has a great friendship and enough confidence to explain this decision to him in the first person.
Apparently, according to 'Mirror', the German coach called the 24-year-old attacker to inform him of the final decision of the 'reds' to leave the bidding process for his transfer.
With all the confidence of the world, Klopp was talking to Werner for a long time to explain that he would not sign him because they could not afford the 60 million euros requested by the German team.
