Antonio Rudiger is the most recent nаme to surface in relation to Liverpool’s roster of elite center backs.

The German international is a proven quality center back who has already won significant awards in Spain and England. According to sources, Liverpool has made an offer to sign him.With Alaba and Militao sidelined due to injuries, the 30-year-old has led Real Madrid’s defense, according to a Spanish source called Nacional.

Due to his steady play, Rudiger is hoping to receive a large salary increase from the Los Blancos and is putting other offers up against the top teams in La Liga.

Although the veteran has offers from Saudi Arabia, the Kaiser is mostly using Liverpool’s bid to unnerve Madrid, according to the Catalan site.

According to reports, Jurgen Klopp is certain that the former Chelsea player will bolster the defense and that he is open to considering Liverpool’s offer.

During his tenure at Stamford Bridge, Rudiger won five major titles, including the Europa League and the Champions League.

Do you think Liverpool should bring in Antonio Rudiger to take Joel Matip’s place?

 

‘Had a word’ – Klopp was seen deep in conversation with one Liverpool player at half-time on Sunday

During the halftime break of Sunday’s 4-0 victory over Bournemouth, Jurgen Klopp was spotted having a lengthy conversation with one of his players.

Neil Jones, who spoke exclusively to EOTK Insider, saw that the manager and Curtis Jones were having a conversation about how to make adjustments so they could take control of the game, which was goalless at the time.

The writer remarked, “I thought it was fascinating that at halftime, Jurgen Klopp talked to Curtis about how the team wasn’t quite right tactically when he was thinking back on the first half against Bournemouth.

“That simply demonstrates the responsibility he has within the team—that is, a) how crucial he is to the way the team plays, and b) that the manager trusts him to comprehend his instructions and make the necessary corrections, which he did in the second half.” He spoke with Jones.With 22 of those appearances coming this season, Jones has now made 119 senior appearances for Liverpool at the age of 22 (Transfermarkt). His days as an academy product waiting for his big break are long gone—he is currently in his fourth season as a first-team regular at Anfield.

The journalist noted that the midfielder is now seen as an experienced enough player to take charge of carrying out the manager’s instructions on the field, and that the tactical talk with Klopp was a clear indication of this.

Over the past month or so, the Toxteth native has really come of age. He has four goals in his last seven games for the Reds (Transfermarkt), making up for the absences of positional peers, and he has even put himself in the running for a senior England call-up ahead of Euro 2024 in the summer.

It was concerning to watch Jones leave the game against Bournemouth toward the end. Klopp stated, via liverpoolfc.com, that the 22-year-old “felt” something, which forced the switch.

We’ll have to wait and watch if that issue prevents Liverpool’s number 17 from competing next week against Norwich and Fulham. Let’s hope it’s not an ιnjury that will keep him out of action for a lengthy time.
