“Ancelloti is k!lling our beautiful game… He’s signing all the players I have instructed Liverpool to sign before I left but this very last one I won’t watch him get the deal done, something must be done now”: Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp reacts to Madrid latest transfer news, report Ancellotti to FIFA for agreeing personal terms to sign Liverpool top target

At a heated press conference, former Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp expressed his frustration and disappointment with Real Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti. Klopp accused Ancelotti of undermining the spirit of football by signing players that Klopp had previously earmarked for Liverpool.

“Ancelotti is killing our beautiful game,” Klopp lamented. “He’s signing all the players I had instructed Liverpool to sign before I left. But this very last one—I won’t stand by and watch him get the deal done. Something must be done now.”

Klopp’s outburst came in response to reports that Real Madrid had agreed personal terms with a top Liverpool target. The news stirred Klopp to the point of threatening to report Ancelotti to FIFA, hoping to halt the transfer.

The conflict underscores the intense competition and strategic maneuvering among Europe’s top football clubs during the transfer season, highlighting how high-stakes these signings can be for teams and their managers.
