We have not heard anything from Barcelona yet.
That doesn’t seem right to me. I don’t think Barcelona are in a position to spend big transfer fees right now.
There are many other clubs that want Jeremy, although I am not allowed to say anything about that.
He can say, ‘wait and see’. I don’t think he wants to change yet, but in football, everything can change quickly. It depends on which team is interested.
Liverpool are in a need of forwards this season and will try to bring a few this January. As the Reds are trying to freshen things up for now as well as for the future. The golden wingers are temporarily out for this January as they are representing their nations at the African Cup Of Nations.
Liverpool needs players to step up and fill their shoes. It’s not easy to find players to play in the Liverpool style of the game. Even the new signings take months to get their spots in the lineup. Jeremy Doku is a player who Jurgen Klopp had under his radar for years. Will he be the next Mane?
