Goal.com reports that on July 16th, Klopp gave an interview to the media and talked about the new signing for his former club Liverpool, Verratti.
Previously, Klopp had publicly supported Liverpool's signing of维尔茨. After the deal was completed, Klopp said: "This will be a dream signing. I have no doubt about it. As the defending champion, it's not easy to strengthen the team, but Liverpool did it. They brought in the talented维尔茨, and I can't wait to witness all of this."
However, in a recent interview, Klopp stated that the success or failure of维尔茨 at Liverpool would depend on a crucial issue. He said, "He will definitely be able to establish himself at Liverpool, but I'm not sure how Slot will position维尔茨."
The Post reports that Slot currently has several options in mind. The attacking midfielder, the pseudo-nine-man, the left winger and the central midfielder are all potential positions for Wirtz.
The new signings for Liverpool - Mamadashvili, Flynnpon, Korkz and Woodman - all made appearances in the preseason friendly against Preston. However, Wirtz was not included in the squad for that match, which was part of the coaching staff's fitness management plan.
