Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spoken out on the club’s takeover process after Jamie Carragher claimed that the Reds need an ‘outrageous’ amount of investment in the summer. Klopp and co find themselves some way behind Premier League leaders Arsenal with their efforts to close the gap set to resume against Aston Villa on Boxing Day. 

Speaking on Fenway Sports Group welcoming new investors ahead of Liverpool’s defeat to Manchester City on Thursday night, Carragher told Sky Sports: “It’s interesting whether it’s a sale or an investment. I think there’s no doubt that Jurgen Klopp has said to Liverpool’s owners ‘I need £200m-£250m to spend in the summer’.

“That sounds like an outrageous figure but that’s what Manchester United and Chelsea spent last summer. So these are the figures that the teams Liverpool are competing with are spending.”

Klopp was asked to address those comments during Friday’s press conference, to which he said: “It’s Christmas, yes?! I’m not against investment, that’s clear, but we will see what the future brings. I’m still convinced it will be good and right for us. In the moment we have to sort the situation, nothing to do with any kind of future investment.”
