Liverpool Jurgen Klopp

Paul Merson believes Liverpool made the worst £30m decision ever by selling Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich in the last summer transfer window.

Even in Mane’s final season, the winger offered Liverpool 16 goals over 34 Premier League games to earn his transfer to Bayern Munich. The Bambaly-born dynamo offered Liverpool 120 goals and 48 assists in 269 appearances in all competitions. The winger also gained a three-year contract in Bavaria to join the record Bundesliga champions. Even if the 30-year-old then moved as a free agent, [Merson](/en-gb/topic/paul-merson/) is adamant he would have made up for it. While the Reds have since struggled to perform. Paul Merson feels Liverpool made the ‘worst £30m ever’ by selling Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly 'furious' with former Reds midfielder Dietmar Hamann over his criticism of assistant manager Pep Lijnders.

Back in October, at a press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League match at Rangers, Klopp was asked about Hamann’s comments about the team lacking a spark. [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4173489/2023/02/11/jurgen-klopp-turned-doubters-into-believers-once-already-at-liverpool-now-he-must-do-it-again/), Hamann’s constant digs at Lijnders throughout the season have incensed Klopp and prompted several digs back at his compatriot in the press, which was seen earlier in the campaign. Hamann has been critical of Liverpool’s performances for most of the season but has taken a particular interest in the Merseyside club’s assistant manager due to the Dutch coach’s decision to write and release a book at the start of the season – which the German blames partly for his former side’s current form.

Jurgen Klopp's future at Liverpool is under peril, as the German has conducted negotiations with a major Spanish club as his next potential destination.

If things go wrong, a switch for the latter is not out of the question.

Jurgen Klopp has been widely condemned for his tactical and transfer decisions, which may have contributed to Liverpool’s current state.

Real Madrid have reportedly held talks with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, with the future of Carlo Ancelotti uncertain at the moment.

Especially when you consider that Liverpool have not traditionally made huge signings during the time of the German manager, even though there are a few exceptions. The team are struggling right now and if they finish the campaign without winning any of the three major trophies, there is a good chance that there could be a change in the managerial hot seat.
