Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool could not have fallen into a bigger slump after the start they got to the current Premier League season.
Having taken just 3 points from 5 games this year, Liverpool have dropped down to the 5th place, a point off of a place in the Champions League and the manager will hope that having just 15 games from now to the end of the season might help them climb up the points table.
Qualifying for Europe will be the target for Liverpool and given the quality in the side, they should be able to finish in the top-4 this season and the German manager is already planning for life after the summer.
Liverpool, who are a bit weak in a few areas, will not be able to compete in Europe with this squad and Klopp has already recognized it and is making plans to get some of the best players to Anfield in the summer.
One such player who might be on his way to the club at the end of the season is Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 27-year old is one of the most prolific goal scorers in Europe at the moments and is easily one of the best players in his position. Though he has been a mainstay at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, he is reportedly unsettled and wants to quit in the summer.
In a recent interview with the media, Aubameyang revealed that it is his dream to play for Real Madrid and he is expecting to get a call up from the Spanish giants this summer.
However, his quality in front of goal has attracted his former manager in Jurgen Klopp who now wants to get him to Anfield.
It is understood that Pep Guardiola in Manchester is also interested in his signature.
Manchester City are bracing themselves to let Sergio Aguero leave this summer and want to replace him with a star name, with Aubameyang at the top of their wish-list.
But Jurgen Klopp is now plotting a £40m bid for the star to fend off interests from the European giants.
With 94 goals from 155 appearances in all competitions, Aubameyang is the kind of a player Liverpool have missed this season and according to reports from the Sun, Liverpool are ready to replace Daniel Sturridge in the first team with the Gabon international at the end of the season.
Sturridge is currently far from first choice at Anfield and is linked with an exit and it is understood that Klopp is ready to sanction his sale if they are able to get their hands on Aubameyang for £40m this summer.
Do you think Klopp can lure him to England?
