According to London News Online, Jurgen Klopp's FA Cup decision could prevent Charlton Athletic signing Pedro Chirivella on loan.

What's the story?

The Addicks are said to be interested in the 22-year-old, but a spanner has been thrown in the works due to Liverpool's fourth-round FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury.

Call yourself a Liverpool expert? How much did each of these big-money January signings cost?

The Reds could only draw 2-2 at New Meadow at the weekend, meaning they will now need to play at Anfield on February 4th. Klopp has already confirmed that neither himself nor his senior squad members will be available for the match, which means that the Spaniard may need to feature in that clash. With that coming after transfer deadline day, it would then be too late to take him to The Valley.

Let him go

Irregardless of Klopp's decision, Chirivella would have likely played anyway - he has started in both FA Cup matches so far this term, even when the 52-year-old had a full squad available to him. Now, with only the youth players to be made available, he would be pretty much guaranteed to start - in a similar situation in December of last year, he was the captain against Aston Villa in the League Cup quarter-final.

However, he should still be allowed to leave the club this transfer window. At the end of the day, Klopp has appeared to throw in the towel - his priorities seem pretty clear, and the FA Cup is not one of them. What would be the point in keeping a player for one game when, if they lose, he may not feature in another match for the rest of the campaign? So far this term, he has featured in just five games, all of which have come in the cup competitions - he has not even been included in a Premier League matchday squad as of yet.

At Charlton, he would surely get his hands on plenty of minutes. The Championship side have already lost Conor Gallagher, Jonathan Leko and Berem Kayal during this transfer window, and they are clearly looking for replacements. With less than six months left on his contract as well, it may be the perfect time to put himself in the shop window. With him not really needed by Klopp right now, the former Borussia Dortmund boss should let him depart.
