The news that Julian Ward is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season has come as a big shock to many but two pundits believe that the reasoning for his impending departure could be the fault of Jurgen Klopp.
Speaking on ‘The Gab & Jules Show’ on ESPN, first Gabriele Marcotti said: “It’s odd, people are going to speculate and they are going to speculate about [Ward’s] relationship with Jurgen Klopp”, to which Julien Laurens interrupted with: “But what else could it be, Gab?
