Jürgen Klopp's former home on Merseyside's Millionaire's Row has finally sold, nearly two years after he left Liverpool. The £4.25million Formby property first went on the market in October 2024, and its sale closes a slow-moving story that had lingered around the club's post-Klopp era.
Why the house kept drawing attention
This was never a standard listing. The house is described as having six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, four reception rooms, a swimming pool, a two-storey gym, a solarium, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a cinema room. Berkeley Shaw called it a "beautiful home tucked away in the prestigious area of Freshfield, set on a private plot with impressive gardens and secure gated access".
William Goulden added: "This is an exceptional home in a beautiful part of the country. Many will be aware of the property's recent history." That history is part of the appeal. The property was bought by Steven in 2005, passed to Brendan Rodgers in 2015, then Liverpool bought it as an investment in 2019 and allowed Klopp to stay rent-free.
How the Liverpool link made it more than a house sale
Arne Slot was shown the seven-bedroom home when he was handed the Liverpool job but turned it down. That detail has helped keep the property in the conversation, because it tied the house to the handover from one era to another.
Liverpool are 5th in the Premier League with 59 points from 37 matches, and their +10 goal difference is a decent marker for where the club sits while that transition is still being judged. Their last five league results are LDLWW, a mixed run that sits in the background of any story about the wider post-Klopp period.
Rightmove reported the house as one of the most viewed listings of 2024. For all the football context around it, this was still a property story first, and a memorable one at that. The sale is believed to have gone through this month, which finally brings the long run on the market to an end.
