Liverpool hero John Aldridge believes a limited transfer budget will see Jurgen Klopp leave.

He wrote for the Sunday World: "Klopp has confirmed he will leave the club when his contract expires in the summer of 2024, and I'm sure he will, especially as he is working with a budget that is not comparable to the teams he is competing against at the top of the Premier League.

"Klopp will be delighted to have got Alisson Becker, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson signed up for as long as he is in charge, but I'm sure he would have made a couple of signings if the money was there.

"While I don't want to criticise the owners at Fenway Sports Group for the way they run the club, their biggest signings have been funded by the sales of star men such as Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho.

"Once again, they ended this transfer window in profit from player trading. While Ibrahima Konate should be a good addition to the defence, I felt the squad was in need of a freshen up, and that didn't happen.

"We know Liverpool don't have the money of the clubs backed by oil-rich sugar-daddy owners, but it would be nice to see FSG get in the mix to sign a few big names and give the club's fans that little bit of glitz that United, City and Chelsea fans enjoyed in recent weeks."
