Adam Lallana details Liverpool exit chat with Jurgen Klopp

Adam Lallana has revealed the details of his Liverpool exit chat with the club boss Jurgen Klopp. The 32-year-old has enjoyed six seasons with the Reds, while joined Brighton on a free transfer during the summer transfer window in order to have more first-team opportunities. And speaking about his move away from Anfield, Lallana revealed that Klopp told him back in October 2019 that he would likely be leaving the club. “To give you a bit of an insight, I spoke to Jurgen (Klopp) in October of last year and just sat down and had an open conversation,” the midfielder told BBC Radio Five Live. “We have a great relationship and I just said ‘what’s it looking like for me next year?’. I know I’m out of contract and I know I’m not playing regularly. “Although I had a pretty big role in the squad around the team, I wanted a bit of honesty. He basically said to me in October, ‘get your agent to start looking for another club’. “That doesn’t mean you’re not in my plans or he isn’t going to use me. Four days later he brought me on at Old Trafford and I scored the equaliser and I think that shows what type of person Jurgen is. He’s very honest. “He said to me I deserve to be playing more and I deserve more game time and to be playing more. “He couldn’t offer that to me so from then I had his blessing the club’s blessing to give my agent the go-ahead to speak to other clubs about next season, which is now this season.”
