Surprise Liverpool deals look fishy after SHOCK new Jurgen Klopp claims
Shock new claims about Jurgen Klopp and his deal with Red Bull make some Liverpool deals look incredibly fishy. They certainly make the claims look true.
Jurgen Klopp has a new job, as you may have heard. He’s the new Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull – a job he’ll take up in January.
It hasn’t gone down well. This is an incredibly controversial move, especially in Germany. Red Bull essentially stands for everything that is wrong about modern football over there – a soulless corporation using a national pastime to sell energy drinks.

The fact that Klopp, of all people, would now devote his career to selling those energy drinks is a slap in the face. Borussia Dortmund fans are outraged – even some of their former players.
Liverpool fans have taken it a little better but a report on Friday certainly threatened any positive sentiment. German tabloid Tz claims that Klopp actually agreed to take the role at Red Bull back in 2022 – agreed to eventually take up the job in 2025, that is.
This was around the time he signed a new Liverpool contract until 2026, one he wouldn’t actually see out. Are they true, though? It’s impossible to say.
But certain deals now look very fishy.
Liverpool and RB Salzburg
Coincidentally, Klopp will be linking up with names he knows. Pep Lijnders is the manager of RB Salzburg, of course, after surprisingly being named manager there in the summer.
He took Vitor Matos there as an assistant – a role he had under Klopp alongside Lijnders. Salzburg also signed Bobby Clark for £10m, before loaning another of Klopp’s favourite youngsters – Stefan Bajcetic.
It was undoubtedly surprising to see so many names from Liverpool head to Salzburg in the summer. While that can all be argued away as sensible – Liverpool have been one of the world’s best teams under Klopp, after all, and why wouldn’t you want a piece of that? – it all seems remarkably coincidental now that the Reds’ former boss is joining Red Bull.
And it looks downright fishy in light of reports that Klopp may have planned a move to Red Bull for years. Has this all been moving in the background for a while?
It does all fit together a little too sweetly.

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
