– Liverpool manager concerned about unfair advantage for Saudi clubs
Jurgen Klopp has called on FIFA and UEFA to take action on the Saudi Arabian transfer window
The Liverpool manager is concerned that the longer window gives Saudi clubs an unfair advantage in the transfer market
as they can continue to sign players after European clubs have closed their books
Klopp has specifically mentioned the case of Roberto Firmino, who left Liverpool for Al Nassr in September 2023.
Firmino had been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia for several months
but Liverpool were unable to replace him until the January transfer window.
Klopp believes that the longer transfer window in Saudi Arabia is "not helpful" for European clubs
