Liverpool FC | Premier League: ex-DFB star on Klopp’s note?

Recently rumors circulated that Liverpool FC, led by German team manager Jürgen Klopp, was looking for reinforcements in the 2nd Bundesliga. Allegedly, the Reds didn’t just like one player from the German football lower house.

At the beginning of November, “Sport Bild” reported that keeper Patrick Drewes from SC Sandhausen had become the focus of Liverpool FC. Accordingly, the top English club is said to have already made initial contacts with those around Drewes.

The men from Anfield Road have probably not taken any concrete steps, which was also confirmed by Sandhausen’s sporting director Mikayil Kabaca: “So far nobody has approached us and we haven’t had any offers,” said Babaca, who added, however, that it was ” an award when SVS players are on the radar of top international clubs. That shows that we are doing a lot of things right.”

Whether Liverpool will actually approach the SVS is anyone’s guess. Especially since another German second division keeper is said to have also aroused the interest of Klopp and Co.: Ron-Robert Zieler from Hannover 96.

Of the “pictureAccording to the ex-national player is even “higher on Liverpool’s shopping list”. Klopp is said to be “taken” by the 33-year-old and have him watched, it is said.

A commitment by Zieler would definitely have its appeal. On the one hand, the veteran knows English football from his time with the youth team at Manchester United and engagements in Northampton and Leicester, on the other hand, the native of Cologne should be available quite cheaply. Zieler’s contract on the leash ends next summer, according to “Bild” it should be automatically extended by a year if he plays regularly as before, but even then the transfer fee should be manageable.

In Liverpool, however, Zieler would have to take a back seat. Brazil’s Alisson Becker is the undisputed number one but there could be a gap behind him as substitute Caoimhín Kelleher is said to be about to drop.
