Jürgen Klopp's former home has finally been sold - nearly two years after he quit Liverpool.
The luxury house in Formby’s exclusive Victoria Road - branded Merseyside's Millionaire's Row - was on the market for a cool £4.25million when it first went up for sale in October 2024. The new owners of the prestigious detached property are unknown.
It comes just days after the appointment of new Reds boss Andoni Iraola, 43. The palatial home boasts an impressive swimming pool and gym complex, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and four reception rooms.
It sits in gated, manicured gardens and includes a grand entrance hall, open-plan kitchen, dining, and family areas. Upstairs, the master suite features two dressing rooms, an en-suite bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the garden.

Additional features include a cinema room and a luxury spa room. When it went on the market estate agent Berkeley Shaw described the property as a "beautiful home tucked away in the prestigious area of Freshfield, set on a private plot with impressive gardens and secure gated access".
At the time of it first being listed, estate agent William Goulden said: "This is an exceptional home in a beautiful part of the country. Many will be aware of the property's recent history." Property website Rightmove reported that the house as being one of the most viewed listings of 2024.
Klopp, 58, moved into the luxurious home on millionaire’s row in 2015 with his wife Ulla Sandrock and their children. The couple soon settled into the local Formby community, often being spotted at the local pub The Freshfield enjoying a meal or walking their dog in the local parks and on the beach.

Klopp was even spotted watching a one day match at the local Formby Cricket Club. The family were known to enjoy a take away from local chip shop The Good Catch, or restaurants Suay and Sorrento.
Ex-Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, 46, bought the home in Formby in 2005 after it was built by a local developer. When Gerrard left for US side LA Galaxy in 2015 he sold the house to incoming Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, 53.
He was sacked that October but kept the property and rented it to Klopp. In 2019 Liverpool bought it as an investment and are said to have allowed Klopp to stay on rent-free. His successor Arne Slot, 47, and wife Mirjam were shown around the seven-bed home when he was handed the job but turned it down.

It is believed to have been sold this month with the sold sign going up today. Klopp swapped life on the Sefton coast for Majorca at the end of the 2023/24 season.
Formby has long been a popular area for footballers and managers of the Merseyside clubs. Ex Blue Duncan Ferguson still lives in the area and current Everton defender Jarrod Branthwaite is a familiar face in the village.
