Liverpool has what appears to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pull in the quadruple. The Reds are in the middle of a Premier League title fight, are regarding to reach the final of the Champions League and are already in the final of the FA Cup and League Cup. The sporting success arouses desires, especially in the area of sponsoring.
Since 2018, the British bank “Standard Chartered” has adorned the chest of the red jerseys. The deal expires following the 2022/23 season, and other companies lie in wait. However, the “Daily Mail” reports that the 19-time English champion would like to renew the sponsorship deal with the financial institution – for almost 100 million euros per year!
So far, the Reds have received 48 million euros per season for shirt . Liverpool are now asking twice as much. It would be the highest-paying jersey deal in football.
With one foot in the CL final
The immediate reality is now the semi-finals in the Champions League. On Tuesday evening (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker) Jürgen Klopp’s team (52) goes with one 2-0 advantage in the second leg once morest Villarreal. His men did not allow a shot on goal in the first leg.
But the German warns of the “yellow submarine”: “We have to go there and try to win, because we know that they will give everything they have,” said the native of Stuttgart. “They will play more football than we allowed them in the first leg. We will definitely have to withdraw and suffer at moments.”
Quadruple would be historic
Klopp, who just last week extended his contract at Anfield until 2016, is aiming for his third CL final as Liverpool coach following 2018 and 2019. However, the German does not want to waste any thought on what might come: “Wet our pants just before the toilet, is still weeded our pants. That’s why being close doesn’t help.”
But if the Reds actually manage the quadruple, they would have done something historic. So far, no English team has been able to win the four major titles in one season. Manchester City came closest in 2018/19 when only the Champions League title was missing. (che)
