Klopp was enough to sway him to move to the Anfield Stadium. Despite being courted by many club, Liverpool acquired Georginio Wijnaldum's services for £23 million with a further £2m in add-ons. He said,
“It was straight after the conversation I had with Jurgen Klopp that I had the feeling that I wanted to come to Liverpool."
“Of course Liverpool is a big club with a good history. Everyone knows that. But there had to be a match. He's in charge and if a great trainer like him wants you then it gives you more confidence to come to a club like this."
“Jurgen gave me a good feeling in that conversation. Straight after that I wanted to sign for Liverpool. He praised the former Borussia Dortmund gaffer."
“In that conversation he made me feel really good. He gave me a lot of confidence because he said he liked my way of playing football."
“He said I was a person he really wanted to have in his squad. Something like that is always good to hear. It made me happy, especially as it came from such a great trainer like Jurgen Klopp."
“He showed how good he is at [Borussia] Dortmund with all the success he had. It's always great when a trainer of that kind of ability says he needs you in his team.”
“The biggest thing he said was that he wanted to keep me for Newcastle.“He didn't want to sell me, but he said that if a great offer came in they would think about it. He wanted to keep me there."
“That was the first thing he said. He didn't say: 'You need to go to Liverpool' because he wanted me to stay at Newcastle.”
