Can you count on the money of the Champions League and how much will it be?" Jurgen Klopp explained when speaking about the case and added: "That is all uncertain and that is what we consider because we are not only responsible for the success of the club, we are responsible for all the people at the club and that means everyone who is working here. That is what we try to do. As long as we don’t know exactly about things, we have to wait."

That came after the Egyptian's recent comments on his future: "I just want to enjoy today and enjoy the moment. No one knows the future and what will happen. Let's see what will happen. But at the moment we win the Champions League, we win the Premier League, I'm happy. Let's see what will happen in the future, but I'm very happy to win and achieve those trophies."
