Klopp to sit down with 2 LFC first-teamers for crunch talks RE future

Posted by

At the end of the season, Liverpool will hold talks with Daniel Sturridge and Lucas Leiva and decide whether both, one of neither of the long-serving duo will be at the club for 2017/18.

This is according to respected correspondent Paul Joyce in the Times.

Brazilian midfielder/defender Lucas has been at the club since 2007 and should be due a testimonial, although reports suggest we’re throwing him a party instead. He’s not been a regular under Jurgen Klopp this term, but as he seems of every season, has played a vital role late on and has been faultless since our Merseyside Derby win at the beginning of the month.

Lucas is terrific for the dressing room, versatile, and a very good player in big matches. We wouldn’t be abject to LFC renewing his terms at all.

Sturridge is a different case as the Englishman obviously deserves the first-team football Klopp is depriving him of. Sadly, he just doesn’t suit the manager’s stylistic demands and a parting would be best for both parties.

We hope the striker finds form and fitness elsewhere, but preferably abroad, so it doesn’t come back to haunt us!
