Midweek, in the 31st round of the 2nd Bundesliga, Mainz hosted Kaiserslautern.
As expected, Wang Shuo was on the substitute's bench.
The day before the match, Klopp had called him into his office to personally discuss the matter.
You see, Borja's current situation was quite desperate.
According to the loan contract, if Mainz wanted to exercise their purchase option, they had to make a decision soon.
Once the season ended and Borja returned to Greece, if Mainz still wanted to sign him, they would have to renegotiate the price.
From Borja's perspective, the player's mindset was also rather interesting.
When the team was doing poorly, he had wanted to return to Greece.
But now that the team had a chance of promotion back to the Bundesliga, he hoped to stay.
This meant he needed to deliver a better performance to convince Mainz.
Klopp made it clear to Wang Shuo that the club had not yet made a decision.
