Jürgen Klopp has worked with top clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, leading them for several seasons. It's clear that over more than a decade, there were many coveted transfers, but not all of them came to fruition. However, there are some failed deals that Klopp regrets.

Details: There are three such cases for him. These are the missed opportunities to sign Sadio Mane and Kevin De Bruyne for Borussia Dortmund, as well as the failure to transfer Son Heung-min to Liverpool.

Quote: "There are a few Dortmund fans here, and I have to apologize to them because I didn't sign Sadio Mane for Dortmund. You could say I was young and naive, but I wasn't that young and not that naive.

I realized this when we took him to Liverpool. I thought, 'Oh my God, that's a lot of money for a guy I could have got three years ago for much less.'

I didn't sign Son from Tottenham. At that time, it seems, it was Hamburg. He was there, and I don't even remember why we didn't sign him. I just came across him in the Premier League and thought, 'Oh my God, you dumb brute.'

Once again, for the Dortmund fans: Kevin De Bruyne was so close. Then he destroyed us in the Cup final with Wolfsburg. So that was a double whammy," Klopp said.

Reminder: For the unfulfilled contract at Liverpool, Klopp along with his staff received a payout of 9.6 million pounds.
