During the day, Liverpool tried to negotiate with RB Leipzig to propose different opportunities. Leipzig immediately said no to all the possibilities &#8211; maybe a package with some add-ons, maybe some percentage of a future sale &#8211; they always said no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The clause was expiring [on the] 30th of June, around midnight. So for Liverpool, it was crucial to decide: in or out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;RB Leipzig were informed around 7 pm [that Liverpool were triggering the release clause], so the deal was completed between Leipzig and Liverpool in a very fast way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The player already had direct contacts with Jurgen Klopp&#8230;He was dreaming of Premier League football &#8211; he was close to Arsenal a few years ago, and now he&#8217;s joining Liverpool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are planning the medical right now. Documents [are] already being exchanged, so congrats to Liverpool, because they have been very fast on this deal, and it was not easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Main image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/6Bu2Mg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darren Brown<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CC BY-NC-ND 2.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabrizio Romano has dropped a major Liverpool transfer update with the Reds&#8217; summer business taking another turn for the better.
