Club legend tells friends he is considering quitting Liverpool next year

Posted by

Jurgen Klopp has reportedly told friends he is considering quitting Liverpool next year.

That’s according to a recent report from Football Transfers, who claim the German manager has been left disappointed by FSG’s lack of financial backing this summer.

Having lost several senior players at the end of last season, including Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, who moved to Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad Club, respectively, Klopp’s need to rebuild his midfield has been evident.

Even though the Reds have already signed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig for a combined £110 million, with talks for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia struggling to progress, despite weeks of back-and-forth negotiations, there are concerns the 2019-20 Premier League winners may have to settle for just the two additions.

And according to these latest reports, following his frustration at the club’s lack of desire to improve the squad in order to keep pace with their domestic rivals, Klopp is thought to be ready to throw the towel in as early as next year.

The former Borussia Dortmund head coach, after winning seven major trophies, including the 2018-19 Champions League, is also reported to have said he feels like he has taken Liverpool Football Club as far as he can.

  1. Absolute rubbish. Jurgen’s friends are just that because he trusts them. They would blab anything to the media even if it was true.

  2. Klopp should leave now, these owners are too cheap, how can you compete and do not want to invest heavily in the squad? Klopp right now is frustrated that he cannot get what he wants. A player like Caseido should be bought, Vardigol is gone but should of been given the opportunity to play for the club he adores, and a right back is also needed since Trent is going into midfield. Take your hands out of your pocket, open the cheque book and put Liverpool back on top. I have been supporting Liverpool since the 12th, April 1972 and have never changed. If FSG do not intend to invest heavily in the team when needed, why not do the right thing and SELL THE CLUB? You are holding the club back.

    1. Well said sir. FSG are cheap they cant compete financially with the Arabs
      City Newcastle will march on
      I’ve supported liverpool since 1962 so I’ve seen the great times but now it’s all about
      Money. Who ever has the biggest wallet wins
      Y N W A

  3. Never say never , his face looks as if he has had enough , this season will be a telling one for him and fsg ..

  4. I don’t blame him. I like that we don’t go out and spend silly money, but we do need to replace what we’ve lost, and losing 6 midfielders in one summer, and replacing them with 2 is just plain daft.

    We do need to trust the academy, but this squad needs a RB, CB and 2 midfielders to cover what we have lost.

  5. He looks happy enough to me. I think he is looking forward to working with the new players and also the young guys who are coming through, notably Doak and Bajcetic.

    1. You cannot rely on Academy players and you need to have soliw and experienced players with them. It is not every match you could select 4 or 5 Academy players and get away with it
      I believe in giving younsters a chance but it is better if the team as a whole is sound.

  6. Embrassing owners. You should sell the club to those who are willing to fund it and don’t block them when you have evil intentions of holding the club in such a poor status. Otherwise you found the club with its great profile but you want to leave it in mess.

  7. Don,t make the same mistakes as Charlton did when they were in the permership, look what happened to them after not investigating when they should.

  8. I don’t blame klopp if he wants to leave he has done so much with such few players,but he is a winner you cant do that unless the owners spend money on buying a decent squad, he is a loyal manager give him the right team he will stay until retirement, why should he be degraded if we dont perform well it’s his reputation he lays on the line fgs give him the money if not you sell to someone who is willing to spend liverpool needs to back on top were we belong

  9. Klopps passion is in developing young players, and turning them into superstars. I understand one of the reasons why he left Dortmund was because they sold all his best players to Munich their greatest rivals. I think klopp would much prefer to develop young talent, rather than buying superstars. His big money spends have been on young talent. One thing for certain so far, the owners do not try and make money out of selling the club superstars.

  10. If done correctly ( as Klopp would) signings are assets rather than simply expenditure. We’re not investing in our future and given the rise in Liverpool’s net value for the current owners the net worth is not being reinvested in the squad. Klopp’s hands are tied and the pathetic attempts to get Latvia on the cheap will come back to haunt us, particularly if Chelsea swoop in and take him. God help us if Jurgen is forced to quit.

  11. I would not blame him if this is true. The Premier League is a fierce competition, starting with who can afford which player.These last 2 years LFC owners have not competed and Lavia’s negotiations are a typical example. I think he is worth £50 millions considering his age and we could get out of him for the next 6 to 7 years.
    I really do not expect much this year (oh how I would love to be wrong!).Klopp should not accept to be part of team whose owners ‘ambition is not to finish at the top. Yes it is true that owners from the Middle East have really messed up the game with their mega bucks but one has to accept the situation and either be prepared to compete or to let go. I feel very sorry for Klopp as he is trying to be as tactful as possible but must be very disappointed with the lack of funds to buy his targets.
    Let us stand by him and the team this year if things go tough.

  12. FSG,Please leave the club before you put it in undervalued or just sign caicedo, lavia(DM optioned to LB) and 1 CB and LB.

  13. I am friends with Elon Musk and when he heard that a friend of Klopp tols a friend then he told me and another friend that he wants to buy FSG and name them X and all the clubs will be called X something, XSoX, Xpool etc..
