Jurgen Klopp calls on UEFA and FIFA to act on "worst thing" about Saudi transfer plans

Jurgen Klopp has urged UEFA and FIFA to "find solutions", with the Liverpool boss concerned that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia will remain open for three weeks after it closes in Europe

Klopp believes the "worst thing" about it is that Saudi clubs have until September 20 to complete transfers, while clubs in Europe's top five leagues will have to complete their business by September 1.

"It is massive, in the moment," Klopp said when asked about the Saudi spending spree. "Pretty much the worst thing I think is that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open three weeks longer.

"If I am right, I heard something like that, then at least in Europe that's not helpful. UEFA or FIFA must find solutions for that. But in the end, at this moment, I don't know exactly what will happen.

"It is already influential, for us, for sure. We will have to learn to deal with it, and that's what we do. That's pretty much all I can say about it, time will show."
