It would almost be rude not pick up a Reus or Gundogan in January.
Borussia Dortmund certainly don’t seem to be doing anything to stop the incessant rumours linking its star players with moves to Liverpool to reunite with former boss Jurgen Klopp.
The German revealed over the weekend that reports that he had an agreement not to raid his former club for talent were wide of the mark, sparking another wave of speculation that the futures of Marco Reus, Ilkay Gundogan, Mats Hummels and Nevin Subotic might lie on Merseyside.
You might expect the Bundesliga side to swiftly make clear that approaches from Anfield or elsewhere would be unwelcome, but quite the contrary.
Chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke told German newspaper Die Welt: “One thing is clear, we at BVB have a very good relationship with Jurgen.
“I think there would be no conflict were there to be interest in one of our players at some point. He would contact us before (he contacts the player).”
Take your pick, Jurgen…
