Read Klopp’s open letter in full..

Stay updated with the latest Liverpool transfer news as Jurgen Klopp bids farewell to Anfield. Klopp expressed his gratitude towards the city of Liverpool for warmly embracing him when he took charge as the manager almost a decade ago.

Sunday will signify the final match for the German as the manager of Liverpool, and prior to his departure, he has penned a heartfelt open letter in Saturday’s correspondence to express his gratitude towards the citizens of the city for their steadfast support throughout the past eight-and-a-half years.

Throughout his tenure at Anfield, Klopp has steered Liverpool to triumphs in the Premier League and Champions League, in addition to securing victories in the FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup, Super Cup, and Community Shield

Jurgen Klopp always knew what made a Liverpool manager – Arne Slot must quickly discover for himself

For Jurgen Klopp, the long goodbye will be colourful, loud and, in trademark fashion for both Liverpool and the man himself, grippingly emotional.

There won’t be a dry eye inside Anfield on Sunday when Wolves are hosted and regardless of how an unlikely title chase eventually petered out during April, Sunday’s game is sure to be an I-Was-There sort of occasion as the scarves are whirred, the anthems are sung and the tears are unable to be held back.

That is what is expected when the greatest manager of the 21st century at Anfield walks away. Klopp says he doesn’t like the Kop belting out the ‘I’m So Glad’ hymn created in his honour but he will have little choice but to accept it from minute one this weekend.

It’s this bond between manager and fanbase that will be too daunting an act to follow for some. When David Moyes was recruited to succeed Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in 2013, the former Everton boss arrived with the legendary Scot’s blessing; signed off as the anointed one to continue leading the club with that same brand of hard-nosed Glaswegian granite.

In the final Blood Red column of the Jurgen Klopp era, Paul Gorst looks at how the Reds boss always knew the qualities a Liverpool manager needed – and how Arne Slot must quickly discover it himself.

Jurgen Klopp’s nine years in charge of Liverpool comes to an end tomorrow when he steps out at Anfield for the final time.

The German has brought the glory days back to Anfield with eight major trophies lifted and countless brilliant performances from his Liverpool side.

But his impact has gone beyond football, with Klopp embracing life on Merseyside since arriving in 2015. And in an exclusive open letter written to the ECHO’s readers, Klopp explains his love and expresses his gratitude to the city he has called home for nine years.

But when I think of this city and its wonderful people, the biggest lesson I will take with me is that giving up is definitely not in the Scouse dictionary.

If you are from here, the chances are that you are not just ready to fight, you actually want to fight. Not only that, the way you stand together, in all kinds of circumstances, means that even when the odds are against you it is still possible to win.

I love this more than I could ever say.

Anthony Gordon  To Liverpool clause

Everton are set to bank a share of any potential sale involving Anthony Gordon this summer.

As reported by the ECHO on Wednesday, the Blues included a sell-on clause in the contract of the English winger when selling to Newcastle United last January.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for the 23-year-old of late, though it remains to be seen whether or not a deal will materialise.

Gabriel Jesus move urged

Former Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson believes Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus could represent a smart signing this summer.

Jesus has been battling various injuries this campaign, preventing the Gunners from seeing the best of the Brazilian, though Johnson is of the view the Reds could benefit from his services.

It has been reported in recent weeks Arsenal are open to selling the ex-Manchester City man, presenting a potential transfer deal.

“I would be surprised if Arsenal does actually want to sell him because I think that would be crazy. If he does become available, either Chelsea or Liverpool should bite Arsenal’s arm off,” Johnson told Betfred.

“He’s not going to get you 25 goals a season, but he’s going to be a big part of the team and he works his socks off. In front of goal, he’s going to score a lot of goals at a club like that where he’ll get a lot of opportunities. Chelsea and Liverpool should absolutely jump at the chance.
