'Fresh money is no mistake': Klopp on Liverpool spending amid FSG sale talks

FSG are reportedly ready to sell Liverpool and are looking for new owners. Alternatively, FSG could be looking to sell some shares in the club.

FSG have often come under fire for not spending enough money to strengthen the squad. At a news conference ahead of the Southampton game, Jurgen Klopp was asked how Liverpool's transfer policy could change if ownership changes.

"In the structure we had, we were obviously able to spend money, but we always had to look and say ‘what did we earn?’ That was always the situation, it was clear," Klopp replied, as quoted by Goal.

"The two biggest transfers we did in the past with Ali and Virg, we all know how it happened, we got some money from Barcelona [for Coutinho] and spent it wisely, I would say.

"For me, how we did it so far brought us to where we are. But fresh money is no mistake, let me say it like this. Nothing gets cheaper, and not only because of the inflation rate. Sometimes you have to spend.

"We are really happy to give all our young kids a chance, and I’m so positive about the impact they will have in the future, but around it you have to, from time to time, thrown in proven quality. And in an ideal world, they are young as well, and not 35! 

"So yes, from time time, you have to take some risks, and we will see. I have no idea what will happen, but I am positive about it. If in the end it is not positive, then I can start worrying, but I just think everything will be fine."
