The reason why Klopp was thrilled with Leicester's relegation, surprises everyone

One of the great sadnesses in the Premier League this season was the relegation of Leicester City, after having emerged champions in 2016, when they surprised the world by winning the most competitive league in European football. However, it seems that Jürgen Klopp has reason to be cheerful after Leicester's failure.

Liverpool did not have the best of seasons either, but Klopp has proven to be a coach who learns from his mistakes to come back stronger and that is why he has determined that one of the priorities for the next transfer market is to rejuvenate the team to try to return to the Champions League as soon as possible.

In that sense, the Reds board and the German tactician agree that the midfield is the area they will focus on the most during the upcoming summer transfer window. In that regard, Liverpool have already secured the signing of Alexis Mac Allister to become the first reinforcement of the squad ahead of the 2023-2024 season.

However, the relegation of Leicester City opens the possibility of bringing good players at low cost, as those players who have the level to play in better teams will surely seek to leave the club to avoid playing in the English second division, and teams like Liverpool could take advantage of this situation to shore up their squads.

Youri Tielemans, the new desire of Klopp

Among the players who suffered relegation with Leicester City is Youri Tielemans, a 26-year-old Belgian midfielder who has been wanted by big clubs in Europe in the past. Now Liverpool are looking to sign him for less than his market value, which is valued at €30 million according to Transfermarkt, as Tielemans is to Klopp's liking and could strengthen the team's midfield.
