Jurgen Klopp has been asked to resign from Liverpool as the Moises Caicedo transfer violates a seven-year vow.

Over the years, Jurgen Klopp has been outspoken about his transfer-market philosophies, but it now appears that he will break his word.
A golden rule that Jurgen Klopp put into place seven years ago at Anfield appears to be about to be broken. After Manchester United re-signed Paul Pogba from Juventus for a record-breaking £89 million in July 2016, the Liverpool manager questioned why clubs are spending such exorbitant amounts on players.
It cost the Red Devils almost as much to welcome the midfielder back to Old Trafford as Klopp was able to build the foundations of his rebuild during that transfer window. The German signed Marko Grujic, Joel Matip, Sadio Mané, Loris Karius, Ragnar Klavan, Alexander Manninger, and Georginio Wijnaldum during his first summer with the Reds.
Klopp made it clear he didn’t feel like spending that much money on a person, and he was happy to say so. More controversially, he also acknowledged that if it happened frequently, he would give up football.
According to Klopp, who was quoted by the Daily Mail, “If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney.”. “I’ll quit my job the day this turns into football because the sport is about teamwork, not competition.
“Everybody in football understands it that way. Although having the best is always ideal, a successful group must first be built. Other teams are free to spend more money on recruiting elite players.
“I wish to carry it out differently.
If I had that much money, I might even have done it differently, he continued.
“Nobody has said to me, ‘No, you can’t do this.’ So I don’t know exactly how much money we could spend. ‘.
“If I spend money, it’s because I’m attempting to assemble a true team. Barcelona succeeded. There is a way you want it, but you can win titles and championships. “.
In the time since his outburst, ten players have been purchased for prices higher than those at which Pogba was acquired by United, and if Liverpool is successful in landing Moises Caicedo, that number will likely rise to eleven. The Athletic claims that Liverpool and Brighton have agreed on a price of £110 million for the signing of Caicedo.
According to the report, the Seagulls held an auction with Thursday night as the deadline. According to reports, Chelsea made an offer of £100 million, but the Reds outbid them.
The Athletic adds that a medical has been scheduled for Friday in Merseyside, and the Ecuadorian international is anticipated to reach a personal agreement with Jurgen Klopp’s squad. To be fair to the 56-year-old, he has since acknowledged that his prior assertions regarding transfer prices were incorrect.
“Everything was different. I don’t like it. Yes, I definitely realized I was mistaken,” said Klopp, as reported by the Liverpool Echo. Although it’s not great, this is how things are. It won’t ever turn around again. Using our resources, the club tries to assemble the best team it can. “.
But a few ruthless supporters have called the German out on social media.
Consequently, let’s talk about football.
London has reviewed some of the responses to Klopp’s remarks.
@KV990810 tweeted: “Klopp always complains about other clubs then goes and does the same, at least its not the balls fault this time.”
@MunichFanpage tweeted: “Klopp hypocritical and complaining as always, unless it fits his narrative. Still a top coach regardless.”
@OddsOnFPL tweeted: “Jurgen Klopp signed Moises Caicedo for £110m (€127m). I guess it is time to resign.”
@CalebOlorogun tweeted: “HYPOCRISY AT ITS PEAK. I EXPECT KLOPP TO RESIGN FROM LIVERPOOL.”
@FGRAdam tweeted: “Klopp is a known hypocrite who genuinely believes is above criticism, he came into Liverpool humble but ever since winning the league and champions league he’s been so arrogant, a diva.”
