Jurgen Klopp says he has had a ‘really good talk’ with Michael Edwards on his return to Liverpool and said no attempt was made to keep the German at Anfield.

Edwards had been sporting director at Liverpool from 2016-22 before leaving to work as a consultant at the sports advisory business, but has been tempted back.

He turned down an approach to return to his former role in January, but is now back as chief executive officer of football for Fenway Sports Group, the owners of Liverpool who are planning to purchase another club.

Klopp is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, but has enjoyed catching up with Edwards again and helping to fill him in on what has been happening in his absence.

‘I?ve said it a few times, I want to see the club in the best possible place after I left, everything we can do as long as I?m here I will do.
