I’ve the final authority to sign/release any player: Jurgen Klopp

January 20, 2016 by 888Scoreonline

There have ever been differences among top leadership of any side and this dissension often relates to signing new players as both the sides try to prove they have the final decision making powers when it comes to bring new players. Liverpool is one such side who has taken several immature decisions regarding releasing and hiring players last season hence whenever we have a discussion regarding whom they are aspiring, we are forced to recall what happened with transfers like of Suarez. Anyways, now when we have a new member sitting on the top chair, it is obvious he would encounter the resistance from Transfer Committee whenever he tries to initiate any transfer, but this time we have a change as new German boss has strong hold over the decision making power in that respect – maybe he is having this power guaranteed by his contract! He had to speak about it after few media houses recently reported that Reds transfer committee could oppose Klopp’s decision to keep young striker Jerome Sinclair with them.

Earlier, it was supposed to be a group decision making but after several mistakes done with former practice, it is believed that Klopp is empowered to have a final say over all the transfer activities Anfield side takes place. The 48-year-old clearly said, ‘Yes,’ when asked if he is having the absolute authority to sign or release any player. Alongside, he also added, “If I would say, for example, we would take Zlatan Ibrahimovic for, I don’t know what his price is at the moment, but he is 35, no? He might even be out of contract, I don’t know! But if you want him you have to pay £100 million, for example. I think I should have asked before signing him! But that’s absolutely no problem.

“I said on the first day when I came here it’s like I used to work. Sometimes my staff or myself have an idea about a player we know or we heard about and then we will collect some information together. Then there are players our scouts bring in and say we have seen this player, we have heard about him, we have watched him for a long time.

“But in the end it’s like I said at the first meeting and the first press conference: If I don’t want the player to come here, he will not come. And if the player I want doesn’t fit our budget then he will not come too. That’s absolutely normal.”
