Klopp confused at Chelsea spending
It has not escaped the attention of fellow Premier League clubs just how much Todd Boehly has spent since joining Chelsea.
Now, Klopp has claimed he is confused at how it has all been allowed to happen.
He said: “I’ll say nothing without my lawyer. I don’t understand this part of the business, it’s a big number. They are all really good players so congratulations. I don’t understand how it’s possible, but it’s not for me to explain”
There is undoubtedly an element of jealousy from the Liverpool manager, who has been unable to address the glaring issue in midfield.
