Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge could be moving on from Anfield this summer, and Paris Saint-Germain has been a rumored destination. Sturridge has reportedly been considered a potential replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic at PSG, should Ibra move on, according to the Sun.
Today Sturridge made some comments that cast doubt on his future with Liverpool.
When asked about his future with the club, Sturridge said to the Daily Mirror: “There are things I want to achieve with Liverpool. [But] I would never say I am Liverpool until I die, because I would be lying.
“I think any player who says, ‘Oh yeah, this is the only team I will play for, for the rest of my life,’ they are deluded. In football, every team looks for replacements every single year.
“So for myself all I can do every weekend is go out there, perform as well as I can, perform to the best of my abilities, and then come the end of the season hopefully have the European Championship to look forward to … and to next year.”
Sturridge also commented on his being left out versus Villareal in the Europa League:
“Maybe people don’t see this, but I am someone who wants to play every minute of every match, so maybe when I’m not starting or when I’m taken off, it’s hard to take.”
“You want to be on the pitch every single match, every single minute.”
“It’s exciting, of course, what the manager is bringing and where we are heading. I am doing everything in my power to be out there on the pitch, and I am feeling good as well.”
It’s worth mentioning that two days ago the Daily Mirror also published a story claiming “Daniel Sturridge has warned Jurgen Klopp he wants to be a starter for Liverpool.”
