Liverpool close to huge deal with Disney for behind the scenes documentary on Klopp’s last 6 months after Amazon snub


LIVERPOOL are reportedly in talks over a documentary covering Jurgen Klopp’s final six months at the club.

The German manager announced last month that he would be leaving the Reds at the end of the season.

Liverpool have since announced that it is filming a fly-on-the-wall series that will be released at the end of the season.

The documentary will hope to showcase a successful end to Klopp’s reign as manager.

Liverpool are currently on course to win a historic quadruple with the Carabao Cup final coming up later this month.

The club are also still in the FA Cup and Europa League and are leading the Premier League title race.

The Daily Mail have claimed that Disney+ are in “advanced talks” over buying the rights to the documentary.

The report adds that the deal could see Liverpool bank £10million from its sale.

It was also suggested that Amazon rejected the chance to purchase the rights due to the limited access to the dressing room.

This is said to be the same reason why Netflix is having reservations.

Sky Sports and TNT Sports have also been approached over the rights to the series.

However, the report has claimed that the price is higher than their normal documentary budgets.

Liverpool is not the first club to have a behind-the-scenes documentary filmed.

Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland, Arsenal and Wrexham have had similar projects released in the past.

Amazon’s All or Nothing series with Arsenal and Manchester City were hailed for the in-depth coverage of the clubs.

Klopp is said to have only signed off on the project after he was assured that cameras would not film his players in the dressing room.

The Mail have suggested that Liverpool view Disney’s offer as “too good to turn down”.

The manager had previously rejected the idea of a documentary after an Amazon proposal in 2018.
