Ahead of the new Premier League season, rumours are rife that Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, isn’t particularly happy with his lot.
According to Football Transfers, the German has let it be known that he’s unhappy with the backing in the transfer market from owners, FSG, and also feels that he’s taken the club as far as he can.

Though it’s true that Liverpool were largely a disappointment during the 2022/23 campaign, Klopp isn’t known as a quitter, and there’s no suggestion either that the owners are unhappy with him.
There’s a risk that the Reds could miss out on one of their targets in Romeo Lavia, and that is possibly what’s behind the German’s ire, given that the club perhaps haven’t been as busy as he might like this summer.

The information that Football Transfers have released, however, doesn’t tally with that received by reliable journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
‘Honestly, I’ve nothing on rumours of Jurgen Klopp wanting to leave Liverpool. He’s completely focused on the job, he’s involved in transfer decisions, nothing has changed,’ he wrote in his exclusive CaughtOffside Substack.
‘I don’t know what will happen in 2024, because in football one year is like ten years in other jobs.’
As Romano states, a season in football is a lifetime and things can, and often do, change in the blink of an eye.
From Liverpool’s perspective, they need to improve in all aspects in 2023/24, and ensure that they’re not playing catch up throughout the early weeks of the campaign.
That may require one or two late window additions for Klopp and his staff to be totally happy, and it remains to be seen what will happen thereafter on the Anfield bench.
