Jürgen Klopp shatters Barcelona's 50 million dream

One of the objectives that Joan Laporta's FC Barcelona has set itself is to sign young talents to form an exciting team with names such as Pedri, Araújo, Gavi and Ansu Fati, among others. In this context, the club's sporting management, led by Mateu Alemany, has several names that fit the bill. However, as we told you in Don Balón, there is one who has stood out in recent weeks due to his great World Cup and that is none other than Mohammed Kudus, Ajax Amsterdam player.

As we said, and despite his national team -Ghana- being eliminated in the group stage of the competition, the playmaker has been one of the revelations of the start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup with two goals in three games, which has caused the already known interest of FC Barcelona to be joined by other teams, including Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool, who, according to The Sun, is currently leading the bidding for the Ajax Amsterdam player.

In this sense, and according to the aforementioned media, the Reds consider the signing of Kudus as a priority operation, to such an extent that they would be willing to pay the 50 million euros that his current club is asking for. Of course, a somewhat exorbitant and unattainable figure for the Culés, but given his age (he is only 22 years old) and the potential he has in his boots, it could be a good investment by the team coached by Klopp, especially considering the complications that the Reds have had in the first half of the season.

Football-wise, as we mentioned, Kudus is a midfielder with a lot of finishing, but he can also play as an inside player on both flanks and even as a winger. In this sense, the Accra-born player stands out for being a very associative player, with a great vision and an impressive technique that allows him to be unbalanced in one-on-one situations in any area of the pitch.

He also has a great mid-range shot and an impeccable commitment to defensive duties. These qualities are certainly to blame for the interest aroused in big teams such as Liverpool and FC Barcelona. However, unfortunately for the Culés, it is the Reds who are currently leading the bidding for the young talent from Ajax Amsterdam.
