Klopp, on Barça recruits and its economy: “No that…


In the midst of the financial problems he is going through, FC Barcelona was able to experience one of the best signing windows in its history, for whom had to sell part of his inheritance and television rights as part of the economic ‘crowbars’. The fact has not gone unnoticed by the footballing world; such is the case of Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp.

In statements collected by ‘Kicker’, the German considers it inexplicable how, in the midst of a precarious situation, the Catalan entity was able to manage with so many playersin what he might consider a very risky bet that seeks immediate results to increase income in the next few years and avoid debt.

Making it clear that only Barca’s case is watched as a fan, Klopp argues that in a situation of this nature, the most prudent thing is to preserve the money:”I don’t understand it for several reasons. If you tell me I ain’t got no money, then don’t spend no more. With my credit card it happened to me twice, luckily it’s been a few years. I see it as a football fanatic, I don’t understand it.”

Likewise, he recalled that one of the teams that previously managed faced a similar situation when selling part of his legacy and only a miracle could save him: “The only club that knows that once he sold the stadium and other rights in advance was Borussia Dortmund. Aki Watzke had to arrive in the last second and save everything. And I don’t know if there’s an Aki Watzke in Barcelona“.

Barça, white of the critics

Statements by Jürgen Klopp keep the same tone of the remarks made by his counterpart from Bayern Munich and Chelsea, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, respectively, as well as part of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, representative of the European Club Association; Uli Höness, honorary president of the Bavarian team, and former footballers Rafael go der Vaart and Gary Neville.
