Every word Jurgen Klopp just said on FSG sale talk and his Liverpool future
Jurgen Klopp says he welcomes club owners Fenway Sports Group's decision to explore potential new investment at Liverpool. But the Reds boss does not believe the Americans' search for further capital will necessarily mean it will lead to an outright change of ownership at Anfield.
An FSG statement on Monday explained that they are seeking investors to come on board at Anfield and it is understood that a full sale is not off the table for the Boston-based group who have owned Liverpool since October 2010.

Newcastle investment hints at FSG decision
Could it be that Newcastle joining Man City and Paris Saint-Germain as one of the world's richest clubs has impacted on FSG's decision to listen to offers for Liverpool?
Our business of football reporter Dave Powell has analysed what a recent investment by the Magpies could signal for the Liverpool owners.
He writes: "Further evidence of the plan to turn Newcastle from also rans into bona fide challengers can be seen by the decision of PIF to invest a further £70.4m into the club for infrastructure plans and day-to-day operations. It takes the level of investment in the club up to £450m since PIF arrived last year.
"The capital injection has been earmarked for infrastructure redevelopment, something that does not count towards UEFA's FFP rules or the Premier League's profit and sustainability (P&S) regulations, with the funds not set to be spent in the transfer market.
"But the continued plans to advance all aspects of the club through capital injections from the wealthiest owners in world football, allied with their ability to spend heavily in the transfer market through both wealth available and the P&S room that they have to manoeuvre due to them acquiring a club with a healthy balance sheet, means that the challenge for the likes of Liverpool to remain at the vanguard grows more difficult."
