Liverpool star wants to quit Anfield over Jurgen Klopp’s criticism

The news is a major blow for Klopp who was ready to swoop for the Brazilian in the summer after failing to capture him in the transfer window.

The England global wants to leave Anfield after his attitude and fitness was questioned by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

There would be no shortage of interest in the 26-year-old despite the problems that have limited him to 19 appearances last season and just six so far in the current campaign, because he is still regarded as one of the most talented players of his generation.

“Off-loading a player who has a long-standing track record of being a resident in the treatment room would not be easy, but all Liverpool fans are fed up waiting for Sturridge to be fit”.

Adam Bogdan has not been included in Liverpool’s Europa League squad for the rest of the season, raising questons about his future at the club. Sturridge’s reported desire could prompt the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United to include him on their summer shopping list, according to Mokbel and Ashton.

The latest reports appear to suggest that Sturridge and Liverpool are edging towards a parting of the ways, with any club taking on the England striker appreciating they will be making a risky signing next summer.

Sturridge’s former clubs Chelsea and Manchester City could also be in the mix as both are keen to improve their homegrown quota.
