Jurgen Klopp was reportedly pictured with Gonzalo Higuain’s brother as Argentina played Chile in their opening match of Copa America on Monday night.
Speculation surfaced earlier in the day regarding a possible move for the Napoli man, who reportedly wants to join Liverpool.
And it seems like there may be some truth in the rumours, as Klopp was snapped whilst taking to his seat at Levi’s Stadium with a man that looks very much like Gonzalo’s brother – Nicholas – who also happens to be the player’s agent.

If that wasn’t enough fuel to add to the fire, on the other side of the Liverpool boss stood a man who looks a lot like Gonzalo’s other brother, Frederico.

Further accounts from people at the game claum that Klopp left the stadium two minutes after Higuain was substituted, which would suggest that the former Real Madrid man was – indeed – the main attraction of his visit.

Then again, the two men may just be very convincing lookalikes, or, the series of events may be one big coincidence, but Liverpool fans can perhaps be forgiven for getting a little excited at this latest development.
Higuain was in red hot form for the Napoli last year, scoring 36 goals in 35 appearances as they finished second in Serie A.
Then a week ago, surprising reports emerged that Higuain was keen to play for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, despite little word of interest from Liverpool in the player.
But now, it seems like Klopp may have acted on the matter, and it could be just weeks before Liverpool announce what would be an enormous signing for the club.
