Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has reacted to the involvement of Saudi Arabian clubs in the current transfer window and has urged football’s governing bodies in Europe and the world، UEFA or FIFA، to solve a pressing issue with the current state of the Saudi league transfer after losing three first-team players to Saudi Arabian clubs this summer as well as has expressed his surprise at Sadio Mane's failed move to Bayern Munich.


Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp begs football’s governing bodies in Euripe and the world، UEFAorFIFA، to intervene in Saudi League contracts on behalf of European clubs which negatively affected the major European competitions.


Sadio Mane signs with Saudi Al Nassr club


The Middle East Monitoe site said that Sadio Mane، the Senegal winger، left Anfield last summer after seven years to sign for the Bundesliga giants where Bayern paid around £34million for him who had just won two trophies for the Reds، finishing runners-up in the Premier League and finalists in the Champions League.


However، Sadio Mane's single season turned into a nightmare as Bayern switched managers، and he had a public bust-up with team-mate Leroy Sane but Mane has now put pen-to-paper on a £650 thousand a week deal with Saudi Al Nassr club، said Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp.


Liverpool manager، Jurgen Kloppm: what went wrong at Bayern


Liverpool manager، Jurgen Kloppm wonders about what went wrong at Bayern as Sadio Mane is on a high in really good shape، a world class player and he goes to new environment، new expectations maybe but he didn't speak to Sadio about it.


Liverpool boss concerned about Saudi Arabian-influenced market
Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp، has identified a problem with the current way the Saudi Arabian market is set up as ex-Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and the Brazilian duo of Roberto Firmino and Fabinho all swapped Merseyside for the Middle East this summer.
Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp، was reportedly stunned by Jordan Henderson's transfer to Al-Ettifaq club in Saudi Arabia and stated that there would need to be some regulation of the Saudi spending spree.


Saudi Arabia spending had made a huge impact


The Liverpool boss، Jurgen Klopp، was asked what he thought about the influence of Saudi Arabia’s millions on the transfer market this summer، and he noted that the Saudi Arabia spending had made a huge impact saying، it is massive، in the moment.


However، Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp، demanded some regulations of the Saudi spending spree، especially as regards to the timing of the Asian transfer window which goes beyond the standard European transfer window.


Klopp hoping for FIFA or UEFA intervention


Saudi Arabian clubs will have until September 20th to sign players، more than three weeks after the September 1st deadline for European clubs، causing what Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp، has described as “not helpful” and “the worst thing” about the current happenings in world football transfers.


Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp، describes the current situation as pretty much the worst thing he think is that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open three weeks longer.
With three weeks less in their transfer window، European clubs could struggle to replace stars who chose to leave for Saudi Arabia when the transfer window closes for them on September 1st، warns Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp، who believes that this is a problem that needs to be solved by the governing bodies، UEFA or FIFA، who must find solutions for that.


Nobody knows exactly what will happen next season


The German gaffer، Liverpool manager، Jurgen Klopp، however، appeared calm about the situation and said that he would wait for the outcome of the coming weeks and deal with them as they occur since he doesn't know exactly what will happen as it is already influential، for the major European competitions، for sure، but we will have to learn to deal with it، and that's what we do، he concludes.


Liverpool have been able to bring in a number of highly rated stars themselves this summer، completing the signings of Argentine World Cup winner Alexis MacAllister as well as Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and could still add Southampton youngster Romeo Lavia to the mix before the end of the transfer window.
