Jürgen Klopp will become Liverpool’s new manager by the weekend after an agreement was made on how the club conducts its transfer business.
Discussions between Anfield officials and the 48-year-old are at an advanced stage after meetings held yesterday close to Liverpool's London offices in Bloomsbury.
Klopp, who takes much of the credit for Borussia Dortmund’s transformation from Bundesliga relegation fodder to two-time champions, worked closely in Germany with chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke as well as sporting director Michael Zorc on the issue of recruitment and was understood to be seeking clarity on who would have the final say at Liverpool.
