Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been given the green light to raid his former club Borussia Dortmund.

The Bundesliga outfit’s CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has confirmed that there is no agreement in place to prevent Klopp from trying to buy their top talent.

And Watzke insists the relationship between Dortmund and Klopp wouldn’t be harmed if the Reds manager does make a move.

“One thing is clear, we at BVB have a very good relationship with Jurgen,” he told Die Welt.

“I think there would be no conflict were there to be interest in one of our players at some point. He would contact us before (he contacts the player).”

Watzke has been impressed by the impact Klopp has had during his first two months at Anfield. Liverpool have taken 11 points out of a possible 18 in the Premier League. They have also booked their passage to the knockout stages of the Europe League and reached the last eight of the Capital One Cup.

“I am very happy for Jurgen that things are running that well after such a short space of time,” Watzke said.

“I did not expect that. I thought he’d need more time with the team given the style of his football.”
