We don’t know if this story claiming Klopp wants Gotze, splashed on the back page of German publication Bild, has any legs, but that hasn’t stopped Liverpool fans losing their minds over the possibility of us signing a world renowned star for arguably the first time since Fernando Torres.
(Luis Suarez wasn’t a superstar on arrival, of course.)
The story claims that Klopp’s earmarked the Bayern Munich attacker as his no.1 summer target, with Gotze representing our manager during his time at Borussia Dortmund and not yet renewing his contract at the Allianz Arena.
There’s no official word and even if we were interested it’d be very hard to snare Gotze, but you’d have thought he was currently on the plane to Melwood judging by some of the reaction!

All these injuries were just a smokescreen for the Gotze deal clearly — Pepperoni Smicer (@DareToHendo) January 7, 2016

“Mario Gotze yet to sign a contract extension. May leave the Allianz” Someone help me. I’m getting the dirty thoughts again.

Wow! German paper Bild reporting that Klopp/Liverpool are after Bayern-player/WorldChampion Mario Götze. #lfc — Jan Aage Fjortoft (@JanAageFjortoft) January 8, 2016
Imagine this front four: Sturridge Coutinho Gotzë. Firmino Might as well hand us the 2016/17 BPL trophy now.

Typical Liverpool this. Been literally minutes and we still haven’t announced the deal for Gotze. Shocking @LFC

Under Rodgers we where linked to Leon Britton, Ashley Williams, Bob the Builder etc. Under Klopp it’s Gotze, Lacazette, Matip, Subotic etc.
