Following owner Fenway Sports Group’s (FSG) announcement that it may consider new shareholders, manager Jurgen Klopp downplayed rumours of a sale and stated that any prospective change in Liverpool’s ownership will not influence his commitment to the team.

In response to speculations of a sale earlier this week, FSG, which successfully completed the buyout of Liverpool for GBP 300 million (USD 342.06 million) in 2010, said it would look into the possibility of bringing in investors if it was in Liverpool’s “best interest.”
After Liverpool defeated Derby County on penalties in the League Cup, Klopp told reporters, “Whatever happens, I genuinely like how we work together with our owners but if that would change I’m devoted to the club, absolutely.

“From what I understand, they are seeking investors, which I thought makes sense.”

Roman Abramovich, a Russian, successfully sold Chelsea earlier this year to a group of investors led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, but Klopp claimed that the circumstances were different. “They are (FSG) seeking investment. The reality is entirely different: Chelsea had to be sold because their owner was in difficulty, according to Klopp.
