Referring to Newcastle Takeover, Klopp: "Newcastle fans will love it, but money doesn't buy success."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp warned Newcastle United on Friday that money does not buy success, and stated he was expecting statements from Premier League officials, according to AFP.

The German's words came following Newcastle's £305 million ($419 million) Saudi-led takeover as the new owners prepare to start their reign against Tottenham on Sunday.

Klopp expects Newcastle to fulfill their ambitions eventually, but he suggested it might be a rocky road to the top because money alone cannot guarantee success.

"Newcastle fans will love it, but money doesn't buy success," he said.

Amnesty International described the Saudi-led takeover as a "bitter blow for human rights defenders."

Saudi Arabia faced international condemnation following the brutal murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom's Istanbul consulate three years ago.

"I was waiting for official statements from (the Premier League chief executive) Richard Masters because obviously there are concerns about human rights, that is obvious," expressed Klopp.
