Jurgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders thought owners FSG were still fully committed to Liverpool when they signed their new contracts.
Klopp and Lijnders pledged their long-term futures to Liverpool back in April until June 2026 and the Reds assistant manager says they had no inkling that they might put the club up for sale back then. John W Henry and his co-owners admitted in a statement on Monday that they are looking for new investors and it is understood they have hired Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to help them in their search.
Liverpool have been very stable under FSG’s 12-year stewardship and the Americans have transformed the club on and off the pitch. Lijnders is relaxed about the possibility of new owners at Anfield and says he and Klopp understand that situations can change.
