That would be my thoughts on this.
Maybe the finer details are being ironed out as we type? It does not make sense to allow Mane to go without getting a replacement in. Klopp knows Lewandowski because of their time together at Dortmund so there really ought not to be the usual trying to convince the player to come.
Man City getting Haaland in is upping the fine tuning to their squad. We have a similar situation where all that fine attacking work / chances is not being finished off and like Man City, Klopp believes we need a proper finisher?
Even at 33 Lewandowski (soon to be 34 in August) he is one of the best finishers and has been for a long time. Getting him in would be a coup for us because he is a player our younger players can learn from.
All those chances in CL Final and we have Lewandowski on the pitch, we win that game.
Good post Pickles.
Liverpool seem like the logical switch in this situation but I wonder is his age the killer. Klopp/FSG don’t usually go for a player close to the end of his career but he would be the perfect fit for probably a couple of seasons.
