I think the translation is wrong – his contract expires in summer 2017, not this June. But his unwillingness to renew beyond that date speaks volumes. I think it's quite likely he will move teams this summer, the question is – where? I'm sure both Guardiola and Mourinho will want him. Having Klopp as manager definitely puts us in contention and Matip-Hummels partnership can potentially be one of the very best in the world. Our fans need to create an atmosphere to remember on Thursday and let's hope this leaves an imprint on Mats' mind when he is weighing his options in the summer.

It's probably just because he's lightweight and has pretty poor stats, but he reminds me of a more mobile Joe Allen, still I like the fact he's very comfortable receiving the ball with his back to goal and turning in one motion and driving forward, like Coutinho and Lallana do so well. I can see why Klopp would like him, he seems very effective at bringing the ball forward at his feet, or via a pass, and has quick feet in general, I'm unsure how he'd fit in though with the signing of Grujic, unless both Allen and another are off.
I can see Grujic being in the reserves for at least a season before making the first team.

I had mentioned Dahoud a couple of times – I like him a lot and my only concern is that he looks lightweight, but to be fair he's only 20, just 5 months older than Brannagan. His first touch, control and vision are beautiful and @Mystic I don't think 4 league goals and 8 assists is "poor stats" for a 20-year-old CM.

Yeah, he looks just as good if not better than Sane. Would be amazing if we managed to sign one of them.
I agree, but I swore I saw his stats were two goals and a single assist. If they're four and eight, that's very encouraging.
Oh, must have been some outdated table. Link to the transfermarkt stats added to the post above. Also this video is more recent than the one posted earlier and includes some of his latest goals and highlights.
Central midfielder yes, but a defensive midfielder? No chance.
Janssen in that clip reminds me of Ings - I don't see lightning pace or fancy footwork, but he knows a thing or two about finishing, and getting into the right places to do that. Since we already have Ings, I'm not sure we need another like him.
edit: Are we better off spending the summer trying to find a replacement for Benteke, or trying to get him to fit the team somehow? I guess I'm not quite ready to give up on him just yet, as frustrating as his performance this season has been.

The Dutch kid looked strong, with an eye for goal, and the spaces around goal. Tons of Energy. I liked the clip at 4:20 where he kept on his feet even though two defenders went at him (I have a special like for players that don't go down too easy). If only youtube scouting was spot on, this kid looks like a force of nature.
Quite a gew nice goals in that Janssen clip...
Quite like the look of him.
Quite like the look of him.
Timo Werner
He does the defensive side of his job exceptionally well in the games I've watched. Full of energy and stamina, knows how to block off the spaces .. is a massive talent.
Whilst I defer to your greatly knowledge on the matter, his complete lack of physique makes me nervous about how he'd fare as a premier league CDM.
Well, they do say that a "good big 'un is always better than a good little 'un" but two of the best defensive midfield players to ever grace the Premiership were both short: Masher and Makelele.
Sadly this, their DoF said today that they wont sell him. They're losing a few other players, including Xhaka, so he probably wont move this summer.
I hope Xhaka doesn't go to Arsenal
