Former Germany striker Max Kruse has revealed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was forced to apologise after seeing his transfer to Anfield cancelled.
The ex-Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg man was a sought-after free-agent in the summer of 2019 having left the former at the end of his contract. The now 34-year-old was fresh off the back of a brilliant season having netted 12 goals and notched 14 assists in all competitions for Bremen as they only narrowly missed out on Europa League qualification.
In the end, Kruse ended up making a surprise switch to Turkish giants Fenerbahce, staying with the side for just a solitary season before the Covid pandemic forced him to depart. He has gone on to represent Union Berlin and former club Wolfsburg once more but finds himself a free agent after a mutual termination of his contract earlier this season.
