Juventus’ Klopp slams Man United’s £100 mln bid for Pogba as “crazy”July 29, 2016 - 11:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Juventus manager Jurgen Klopp has aimed a barb at Premier League rivals Manchester United, the Express reports. The Red Devils are closing in on a world-record deal for Paul Pogba, which looks set to smash the £85m Real Madrid lavished on Gareth Bale in 2013. And Klopp thinks it is crazy that United are going to spend more than £100m on one player. “If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney,” he said. “The day that this is football, I’m not in a job any more, because the game is about playing together. “That is how everybody in football understands it. You always want to have the best, but building the group is necessary to be successful.” Liverpool remain on alert for Jese Rodriguez. Klopp is an admirer of the Real Madrid striker, while Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen to beef up his attack. And Real boss Zinedine Zidane has hinted Rodriguez could be on the move. “If he wants to leave to play more, I don’t know,” Zidane said. “It’s our first game. He’s here, he played. Everyone’s here, that’s all I can say now." Liverpool are yet to make a bid for Moussa Sissoko, according to reports.
