Jurgen Klopp announced last week that he will step down as a Liverpool manager at the end of the season. He added that he told the club's owners FSG about his decision in November last year.
The Liverpool Echo report that the German called Mike Gordon to inform the owners of his desire to leave the club in 2024. The manager and the FSG president had a long, serious conversation and Gordon had to accept that the decision was final.
However, Gordon phoned Klopp shortly after the first conversation. He jokingly 'offered' him a 'money-no-object' contract to try to change his mind.
It is described as a 'jocular' exchanged, with both Gordon and Klopp laughing about it — and Klopp declining the proposal, saying that his mind was already made up.
