The club photographer was there, Klopp was there with his staff in the back and then he had a separate photo with his two assistants as well. And that gave an indication that things had progressed fairly quickly. “Just to give a framework for how fast it went, FSG president Mike Gordon flew in yesterday (Wednesday) for the race and one of his top priorities was to lead the talks with Klopp. He was sitting a few places away from Jurgen’s agenda as well, and that was all because of the positive noise coming from Klopp’s camp. “The FSG moved very quickly given this positive move by Klopp, as it did in 2016 and 2019, and now Klopp is staying beyond 2024, staying until 2026. And of course, there is still the small issue of quadruple to go for this season “.
