The 0-3 was the red team's first defeat at home in fourteen months, taking into account all competitions.

The fall comes at a bad time, as Liverpool drew 2-2 with Manchester United last weekend and lost the lead of the Premier league due to the goal difference issue with the Arsenel, which is first.

Klopp is leaving, that has been known for a few months, and the leaders of the English team from that moment began to look for his replacement, something that at this time of the year has not come to fruition due to various circumstances.

“There was no interview and much less agreement with Liverpool,” said the DT, who assured that he was focused on working with his current team.

And he added: “I am coach of Sporting, I want to win here and I did not meet with any club. Nothing has been agreed.”

“The coach recognizes that he is only focused on his team and that he will not talk more about his future ahead of the end of the season, where he is the leader of the Portuguese championship and is settled in the final of the cup (Portuguese Cup),” Marca
said of Spain.

What is known is that there is a clause to pay. “It is 20 million euros (for teams from outside Portugal), and 30 million for Portuguese clubs. “Sporting paid Braga 10 million euros for him in 2020 and will not let him go so easily,” concluded the Spanish newspaper.
