Jurgen Klopp talks, billionaire son's comments and Louis Vuitton plan for former Liverpool boss

Jurgen Klopp is soon to be welcomed into the Red Bull group with the challenge of beginning their Paris FC project. The former Liverpool manager is set to be handed the reins for overseeing football operations, and is 'very excited' to get to work.

Liverpool have already embarked on their post-Klopp adventure under Arne Slot, and that is going extremely well judged on glances towards the Premier League and Champions League standings. On the flip side Klopp has been taking the time out from football he promised when stepping down as manager, but is soon to embark on his own post-Liverpool journey.

In January the 57-year-old is due to step into the position of global head of soccer at Red Bull. He will oversee the strategy followed by all clubs the business controls or holds a stake in, with the latest due to become Paris FC.

Alongside the Arnault family, Red Bull are in the midst of taking over the club. Speaking at a press conference from the club's base in Orly, Antoine Arnault disclosed information to do with the running of the Ligue 2 side, even from Klopp's perspective, as he has spoken with the former Reds boss.

Klopp 'very excited'

"I’ve spoken with Klopp several times, and he’s very, very excited about working with us," the son of multibillionaire Bernard Arnault told the waiting media.

The input of the former Reds manager will prove to be invaluable as this is an entirely new venture for Red Bull's new partners.

He added: "We’re not coming in alone. Red Bull is by our side because we know what we’re good at and what we’re not. We have management skills, but none in football operations."

Straight from the source

Red Bull are going to take an 11 percent stake in the French club which will later increase to 15 percent, say multiple reports. As Paris FC benefit from the wisdom of Klopp, it appears he and Red Bull will get out of the arrangement a new base closer to the source they have discovered previous talent, including Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate.

"Paris has probably the best talent pool in the world, rivaling only Sao Paulo," Arnault boasted. "Red Bull’s revolutionary data tools will greatly aid our scouting efforts."

In the past Red Bull seem to have cherry picked from Paris Saint-Germain's academy. This is how they were able to land the likes of Konate, Christopher Nkunku, Xavi Simons and Nordi Mukiele. They have also made names of other French talents such as Castello Lukeba, signed from Lyon.

Establishing operations in the capital will at least lessen some of the need to poach from rivals and bring in youth talent from the country directly.

Louis Vuitton backing

The Arnault family are the wealthiest in France, so Ligue 2 leaders Paris FC and Klopp's next scouting project are in line for some serious new backing.

Patriarch Bernard - the founder, chairman and CEO of luxury goods conglomerate Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton - or LVMH - is the fifth-richest man alive according to Forbes, holding a net worth of $199.7bn (£158bn).

The new 52 percent majority ownership of Paris FC will come under the family holding company, Agache, as Bernard's son, Antoine, explained this diversification of business before he assumes command of the footballing venture.

"This is a family project we started with my brothers and sister," he said. "We thought it was a good idea to venture into something more thrilling than our usual activities. Football has been my passion since I was 10 years old."
