Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp failed in an attempt to sign Real Madrid Champions League hero Rodrygo when he was only 16, the player's agent has claimed.

The Brazilian struck a quickfire double with 90 minutes on the clock during Madrid's Champions League semi-final comeback against Manchester City. The goals forced the game into extra-time following Riyad Mahrez’s opener with Karim Benzema converting a penalty to book Los Blancos a place in the final, where they will face Liverpool.

It appears Madrid's Champions League hero might have been lining up on the opposite team had Klopp's meeting with the forward proved more successful. It comes as Real sent the Reds a message ahead of the final in Paris after the players wore shirts with a special note on.

Meanwhile a group of Liverpool shareholders are in talks to buy Serie A giants AC Milan in a deal that could be worth more than €1bn (£950m).

Klopp previously flew to Brazil in an attempt to sign Real's Rodrygo when the forward was just 16 years old.

According to the player's agent, Nick Arcuri, Klopp even went to Sao Paulo to watch Rodrygo in action, but the Reds couldn't agree terms on a move for the player.
