The agent of Raheem Sterling has hinted that the player might have stayed at Liverpool had he known that Jurgen Klopp would become manager.
The England international left Anfield for Manchester City in a £49m transfer during the summer, a matter of months before ex-Borussia Dortmund coach Klopp succeeded Brendan Rodgers at the helm.
Aidy Ward has suggested that Sterling and Klopp would have worked well together for the Merseysiders.
"The new Liverpool manager probably would have been a great fit for Raheem - passionate, disciplined in the right way, new ideas, not afraid of trying new things. He'll do great at Liverpool," Ward told the Daily Mail.
"Would Raheem under Klopp have been a good scenario? Yes, 100%, definitely, mainly because of the person Klopp is - the passion, the drive, the emotion, wanting to achieve.
"Raheem has all of this, but you won't always see it outwardly. Working with Klopp - that could have been great. He's going to get the best out of those players. It could have been a dream come true."
Sterling has scored four goals in eight Premier League appearances for City.
