Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp breaks silence on FSG sale after Derby win

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp remains committed to Liverpool (Image: GETTY IMAGES)Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he remains fully committed to the Premier League club despite the uncertainty of a potential takeover. Owners Fenway Sports Group put the Reds up for sale earlier this week. Some fans have worried that a possible sale of the club could see Klopp depart. FSG appointed the German in 2016 and he has gone on to win a plethora of trophies, including the Premier League and the Champions League. But Klopp has allayed those concerns by confirming that he remains committed to the club beyond FSG’s ownership. He told journalists after Liverpool defeated Derby in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday: ‘Chelsea got sold. We are looking for investors. It is completely different.”As far as I know [FSG] are looking for investors and that makes sense. Whatever happens I am committed to the club. Nobody had a heart attack when they heard the news.”FSG are listening to offers for the Anfield outfit, although no timeframe has been put on a sale. Several investors have already been linked with purchasing the club. Dubai International Capital are rumoured to be interested in a takeover. Should that happen, it would make Liverpool the third Premier League team to be majority owned by a sovereign state – following Abu Dhabi at Manchester City and Saudi Arabia at Newcastle. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the current ruler of Dubai, previously played a role in trying to buy Liverpool in 2007. That deal fell through, paving the way for FSG to complete a purchase three years later. We’ll be bringing you the very latest updates, pictures and video on this breaking news story.For the latest news and breaking news visit: express.co.uk/sport/footballStay up to date with all the big headlines, pictures, analysis, opinion and video on the stories that matter to you.Follow us on Twitter @dexpress_sport – the official Daily Express & Express.co.uk Twitter account – providing real news in real time.We’re also on Facebook @dailyexpresssport – offering your must-see news, features, videos and pictures throughout the day to like, comment and share from the Daily Express, Sunday Express and Express.co.uk.
