“I was angry”- Jurgen Klopp admits he was angry after Liverpool failed to sign his preferred player
Jurgen Klopp admits he was angry after Liverpool failed to sign his preferred player
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he wanted to take Dusan Tadic to Anfield before the Ajax playmaker left the Premier League for a fresh start at the Eredivisie giants, speaking to RTL.
And with Ajax hosting the unsettled Merseyside giants at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Wednesday night, a place in the Champions League knock-out stages not yet secured for Liverpool.
Tadic certainly has an opportunity to show Klopp and co what they’re missing.
The 33-year-old Serbian international has been the driving force behind one of Ajax’s most successful seasons in recent times since leaving Southampton in the summer of 2018. There were six trophies awarded. Several glitzy appearances on the European stage.

‘I was very angry with myself when he went to Ajax,” admits Klopp. “Because I was also interested in him. I love him as a player.”
Southampton’s star players were frequently snatched away by Liverpool. They grabbed Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert, Nathaniel Clyne, Sadio Mane, Virgil van Dijk, Adam Lallana, and Rickie Lambert from 2014 to 2018. To the evident dismay of the German, Tadic is one of the select few who eluded Klopp’s grasp.
