Despite rumors of interest from the Reds, Amadou Haidara has already voiced his respect for Steven Gerrard, an icon of Liverpool.
Midfielders from all around Europe continue to associate Anfield as a destination, and the midfield division is still under fire. As the demand for additions reaches an all-time high, Jurgen Klopp has come under intense pressure to strengthen the middle of the pitch this month.
An offer for the Haidara from Brighton was reportedly refused, according to a story from the Independent. With RB Leipzig, the 24-year-old is currently making a living in the Bundesliga.
Although it’s possible for Marco Rose to lose one of his essential midfielders, the German team isn’t actively looking to sell this month, the same report claims.
For a midfielder who supposedly has a clause allowing him to leave the team in the summer, Liverpool and Manchester United have been mentioned as prospective destinations.
Haidara, who has played 133 times for Die Roten Bullen, has already praised Gerrard and praised the way the captain has tried to incorporate elements of Liverpool’s style of play into his own.
He admitted to the Guardian in 2021, “I liked Yaya Touré.” “With or without the ball, he was capable of doing anything.
And I adored Steven Gerrard. He did an excellent job on everything. I enjoy watching his videos and trying to learn from what he does in his game. Players are also available today. With the ball, Marco Verratti excels. Casemiro is excellent. But I have to accept who I am as a player and look in the mirror.
Prior to Liverpool’s scoreless draw with Chelsea, Steven Gerrard discussed Jurgen Klopp’s team’s midfield dilemma. The 42-year-old referred to the backroom as “stale,” and Haidara has already informed the German coach of his ideal position following hints of a midfield reconstruction.
“Positions 6 or 8 are where I feel the best. However, during the previous campaign, coach Julian Nagelsmann would move me around a bit “He spoke with Red Bull.com in 2021. “I wanted to demonstrate to him that he could rely on me at any time, and that was really beneficial to me.”
