“My meeting with Klopp had nothing to do with Richarlison.

“I am an agent of a player of Germany [Noah Weisshaupt], of Freiburg and Germany U20, where his father played with Klopp and they’re friends.

“So they did not see each other in time and I went to his house to take Marco.”

The agent further repeated that the meeting had nothing to do with the Everton forward and that “people” were simply one thing with another.
