Klopp hits out at the Saudi Arabian transfer window length: ‘Not helpful’

Jurgen Klopp has hit out at the Saudi Arabian transfer window length, saying “Uefa or Fifa must find solutions” for it.

The transfer deadline in Europe’s top leagues is 1 September, while Saudi Arabia’s runs until 20 September.

“Pretty much the worst thing I think is that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open three weeks longer,” Klopp said.

“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.”
