Jurgen Klopp: Michael Edwards return will not impact decision to leave Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists the return of Michael Edwards as Fenway Sports Group's chief executive of football will have no bearing on his decision to leave at the end of the season.

The German has spoken to Edwards, with whom he had a very successful relationship as the club's sporting director until he left in 2021, but there will be no dramatic U-turn.

"We had that conversation, (but) that is not a subject to talk about. Can you imagine I changed my mind?" said Klopp.

"It's like, 'Never ever another club in England' and next year I signed for our neighbours. I think before I say these things.

"For me it is the best club in the world and I am still leaving. I just want this club to do as well as possible with the best people in charge and Michael is a top choice.

"We spoke about a lot of things, what I think about players, what needs to change and a really good talk. I am really happy. I want it to be the best possible place after I leave. I think it is a top solution and our conversation was obviously great."
