According to an exclusive report from the Daily Mail Matt Hughes, Disney+ are in advanced talks to buy the full rights to the Liverpool documentary, which will detail Jurgen Klopp's final six months at Anfield, a deal that will bring in around £10 million for the club. The Post understands that before Klopp decided to leave last week, Amazon turned down the opportunity to buy the rights to the documentary, citing concerns about limited access to the locker room, while Netflix also expressed reservations about letting Disney lead the documentary battle.
Liverpool have also made offers to make documentaries from Sky Sports and TNT Sport, although given that the broadcasters are mainly focused on live sports, the asking price is said to be much higher than their usual documentary budgets.
Jurgen Klopp's imminent departure makes the documentary an important traffic point. While Liverpool fans will want an intimate account of his side's challenge for four trophies for the rest of the season, they may be disappointed.
It is known that the German boss vetoed Liverpool's discussions with Amazon, which had previously proposed to introduce Liverpool in a 2018 all-or-nothing documentary series, which he only signed after being assured that camera crews would not follow his player in the dressing room or other private areas.
It is understood that Liverpool thinks this ** is too good. They have already signed a contract with London-based production company Lorton, which began filming in December last year and is currently serving** the documentary to television companies or streamers.
Although Disney is seen as a possible destination due to fruitful negotiations so far, the deal has not yet been finalized.
Lorton, Disney and Liverpool declined to comment.
