Liverpool ‘will give Jurgen Klopp the funds he needs to rebuild this summer’ after a dismal campaign… as the Reds ‘approach a replacement for Dr Ian Graham as head of research’ in an effort to boost their recruitment efforts.
- Liverpool have fallen to tenth place in the Premier League table after 20 games.
- They have lost and conceded three goals in each of their last three away games.
- The club is expected to ‘back Jurgen Klopp to rebuild his team this summer’
Jurgen Klopp will receive the “financial backing he needs to rebuild his Liverpool team” this summer along with a new head of research.
After fighting for four times last season and reaching the maximum number of games possible, Klopp’s team has struggled this year and sits in 10th place in the league after 20 games.
Some have pointed to the team’s age as a factor in its decline, with several key players including Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk all in or approaching 30s.
According The timesKlopp will have a chance to improve his aging side as the manager wishes to stay at the club and will receive “significant funding” to bring in new players.
Star England midfielder Jude Bellingham is believed to be among the manager’s youth targets, with Wolves’ Matheus Nunes another option.
Liverpool are expected to ‘back Jurgen Klopp to renew his team this summer’
It comes after a shock start to the season that has seen Liverpool drop to 10th place after 20 league games.
The Times also claims that Liverpool will be boosted by the introduction of a new head of research, as the club has already chosen a candidate who is “working on the game and regarded as a leading operator in the field of football data”.
They will replace Dr. Ian Graham in the role, who may prove to be a difficult act to follow as he is credited with masterminding a number of key Liverpool signings over the past decade, including that of Klopp.
Graham is currently believed to be working on a notice period that will end in May.
While the prospects may look more rosy for the coming seasons, the Reds are currently enduring a woeful run that has left them winless in the league in 2023.
They have lost each of their last three away games, conceding three goals in each game, and are already 22 points behind league leaders Arsenal.
New signings brought in this season, notably Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, have struggled to reach the heights expected of them so far, as Liverpool have only scored one league goal since the start of the year.
They will then be in action in a tough Merseyside derby against an Everton side who look rejuvenated under Sean Dyche and beat league leaders Arsenal in their last game.
The Reds next play an Everton side rejuvenated by the appointment of new manager Sean Dyche.
