Pep Guardiola slams Jurgen Klopp for his remark on steady inflow of players to the Saudi Premier League

The world of football keeps throwing up news every day. The hot topic in the football transfer window has been the steady moment of players to Saudi Arabia. Players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Neymar have changed bases from their old clubs and shifted basis to the middle east to play in the Saudi Premier League (SPL).  Klopp heavily went down on the fact that the SPL transfer window closes six days after September 1, when most European windows come to a close.

When it came to Guardiola he talked at the situation on transfers from a completely different angle. He said most European and other clubs go out of their way to make things easy for SPL clubs with regard to transfers.  But when it comes to the outflow of players from the European and Spanish Leagues then they make huge noise on the issue of the departure of key players to the SPL which has been the trend recently.

I am really happy with the club’s transfer window – Jurgen Klopp

As per ECHO: The Manchester City manager said, “Everyone complains about Saudi Arabia, but when Saudi Arabia knocks on the door, all clubs open the door, red carpet….. They say, ‘what do you want my friend? I’ll sell everything!’… So happy! Ah… complain for everything, but everyone opens the door!” he added. Klopp on the other hand was all upbeat about Liverpool’s transfer window and said it has put the side in good stead ahead of the Premier League season.

“You just have to make sure you go for the right ones. I sit here, and I’m really happy with our transfer window in this moment.” Klopp said. “We will keep looking, we will try to make the best decisions for this club, and we will not use money or anything else as an excuse. We will just go for it. We do it our way and we are ready to fight, ” The Liverpool Boss added. Liverpool’s first Premier League game will take place at Anfield on August 19.
