Liverpool will get a HUGE cash boost if Disney and Netflix bid for the Klopp documentary

LIVERPOOL are hoping to make more than £10m from a fly-on-the-wall documentary about manager Jurgen Klopp’s farewell season.

The Reds expect a bidding war between Disney+, Netflix and other streaming channels for the series.

Filmmakers Lorton Entertainment hit the jackpot as they had no idea Klopp would quit when they started production in December.

The London production company’s initial bid was much lower than the bid from Amazon’s All or Nothing team, which made similar series about Tottenham and Arsenal.

But Klopp was unwilling to give Amazon the kind of access they wanted to justify their premium fee.

Now the Merseysiders are set to earn a similar amount to their north London rivals following Klopp’s bombshell news.

Amazon could even pay a lot of money to show what they missed in production.

A source said: “Lorton has been really lucky with the timing of this.

“They captured all the reactions to Jurgen’s shocking announcement and the raw emotion within the club when the news broke – including from the players.

“The reaction of people like Virgil van Dijk will probably be discussed.

“Curtis Jones made his teammates laugh and said it took him five years to get Jurgen to like him and now that he has a regular place in the first team, he has decided to leave.”

Liverpool’s chiefs were open to a documentary as delays in completing the Anfield Road Stand left a hole in their budget.

Klopp ultimately gave the green light to Lorton’s less pushy, story-based approach.

That was in October, a month BEFORE he told owners Fenway Sports Group he was quitting.

The film crew were regularly present at Anfield and the Melwood training ground and spent time with the players outside the club, including at home.
