This is exactly the type of move that would demonstrate that Liverpool are gunning for a title next season.
Even Brian Cody is spotted at GAA grounds when he slouches in his seat and pulls his cap down low.
It is hard to be conspicuous when you are a famous football manager and you show up to a game that does not involve your team or impending opponents. So it went for Jurgen Klopp, last night, when he attended Argentina’s Copa America win over Chile.
The Liverpool boss was in California to watch the game and, more than conveniently, he was joined by Nicolas Higuain. The Napoli and Argentina striker’s brother also acts as his agent.

The fact that Klopp left soon after Higuain was subbed only heightens speculation that the German was there to specifically scout him. Add to that word from beIn Sport that a deal between Napoli and Liverpool was ‘very close’ and this could be one transfer rumour that could be done and dusted soon.
The 28-year-old broke a Serie A record last season by scoring 36 goals. He has been a revelation for the Italian side ever since he arrived from Real Madrid.
Many Liverpool fans are definitely excited by the fact Klopp was on a scouting mission on his summer hols:

Say it IS so
Seeing all the reports of higuain to Liverpool and a part of me still feels like this is just a sick joke being played on us?? 🤔🤔

And one cautionary tale from a Gunner
Liverpool fans, don't get excited about a potential Higuain signing. He's been having a medical with Arsenal for the past three years now.
