Jurgen Klopp was reduced to tears after being told he couldn’t sign a player
Jurgen Klopp ‘cried on the phone’ when told he wasn’t able to sign former Tottenham Hotspur flop Kevin Prince-Boateng.However, his first spell in England was tough as he failed to impress. In 2009, the midfielder was shipped out to Borussia Dortmund on loan.As a result, Klopp wanted to sign Prince-Boateng on a permanent deal but Dortmund’s financial position made the transfer impossible.
“I said I will give my life for him. Every player would die for him on the pitch because he gives you that feeling of confidence, that feeling of love as well.“Whatever you do, if you do a mistake, he's going to be there. I needed that guy who was going to believe in me because after Martin Jol and Juande Ramos, no-one believed in me. I didn't believe in myself - I just gave up.”Prince-Boateng continued: “I had like six, seven pounds more.
“It didn't work out. He called me personally and said we can't buy you, we don't have the money. We both cried on the phone. Like really cried. We had a very good relationship.” SPORTbible are on WhatsApp!
