I agree with you, forcing someone to stay is never going to be fruitful, for either party.
I would rather want Klopp to have a talk with the lad. I’m sure Klopp will point out how moving to another club for more games don’t usually work out. With all his potentials, Neco is still a kid and only clubs he can hope for a regular spot is where the bar is set pretty low.
On the other hand, Curtis has played (and trained) his way in the senior squad while Nat and Rhys took advantage of a disaster to showcase their respective potential. In a season of 50+ games, Neco can expect to get considerable minutes to advance his case.
Finally, I feel a lot of this interests are provoked by the agent who is likely to pocket a fee is Neco moves to another club.
