Tested on how comparative the circumstance is to Harry Maguire’s transition to Manchester United in 2019, Rodgers dismissed the correlation and proposed Fofana has been impressively less expert by they way he has responded.
He made sense of: ‘No, it was very surprising. I knew throughout the late spring that there was plausible that could occur.
