Pressure on Liverpool to deliver trophies, says Klopp

The Reds have spent a world record fee on Alisson Becker after Liverpool FC signed the Brazil global in a £67m deal from Serie A giants AS Roma.

Casillas backed the under fire Karius on Sunday night after the German came in for more criticism following a nervy performance in Liverpool’s 3-1 friendly defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

Liverpool have set price tags for a host of players including Simon Mignolet and Divock Origi as their focus shifts to sales over the next fortnight. “It’s not that we lost things completely but you have to work on it to get it back”, said Klopp.

Two players who cost their respective clubs over £50 million could face off against each other in this game.

“City brought in Mahrez”. Guardiola will be keen to further integrate him into the team and should once again play him out wide.

Keita arrived on Merseyside this summer following his £48million switch from RB Leipzig. He also had a similar impact on the team, showing creativity and attacking threat.

“The game was obviously very hard for both teams”.

The Liverpool goalkeeper was just coming into a period of good form last season when the Champions League final, the nadir of most footballer’s careers, came upon us.

Sturridge has impressed Klopp in pre-season training.

Who are Liverpool most likely to sign this summer?

Karius joined Liverpool from Mainz in 2016, signing a five-year deal, and made 19 Premier League appearances during the 2017-18 campaign. Brazil striker Jonas – scorer of 34 goals past year – has made the journey to the US, though Croatian midfielder Filip Krovinovic has been left behind as he recovers from a torn cruciate ligament.

He has now spoken to Sky in Germany about the uncertainty surrounding his future following Liverpool’s world-record signing of goalkeeper Alisson.

There was an early scare for Liverpool when Loris Karius rushed off his line to clear the ball, only for it to go straight towards Maximilian Philipp, who fired wide from long range.
