Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has acknowledged that even if the team secures trophies this season, it may not sway Jurgen Klopp to remain at the club.
Earlier this year, Klopp unexpectedly revealed his decision to depart Anfield at the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, concluding his nine-year tenure in the northwest.
Despite Klopp’s prior successes, including UEFA Champions League, Carabao Cup, FA Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and Premier League triumphs, solidifying his status as one of English football’s greatest managers, the remaining months of his Liverpool tenure could potentially yield even more silverware.
Following their Carabao Cup victory on Sunday, Klopp and Liverpool stand on the verge of an extraordinary quadruple this season, leading the Premier League and being considered strong contenders for both the UEFA Europa League and FA Cup titles.
Discussing whether the possibility of securing a quadruple could influence Klopp’s decision to stay at Anfield, Gomez remarked, “No, definitely not.
“Considering his lengthy tenure here, I believe he understands he’s accomplished everything possible. He’s won it all. Everyone respects his choice, and we comprehend it.
“He’s one of the wisest individuals we know, and when he states he’s prepared, he truly is. It is what it is; we can’t linger on that; we simply need to honor his decision.
“We recognize it’s his final chapter, and we want to give our utmost for him. We always have, but now that the finish line is in sight, it adds an extra layer of significance.”
Liverpool will pursue their quest for a historic quadruple as they host Championship side Southampton at Anfield for their FA Cup fifth-round encounter on Wednesday.
