Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has reportedly been left angered by Fenway Sports Group's decision to sign up to the controversial European Super League.
The Reds are one of 12 clubs - half of those from the Premier League - who intend to form an alternative to the Champions League, potentially as early as next season.
Klopp has previously voiced his concerns about the formation of a breakaway league, and the German reiterated on Monday that he is still against the idea.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager also confirmed that he, nor his players, had any say in the proposals.
According to The Athletic, Klopp is furious with FSG, the club's financial backers, for willingly signing up to the ESL.
Klopp is said to have been especially annoyed that the announcement was made on the eve of Liverpool's trip to Leeds United, which finished in a 1-1 draw.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are the other teams to have already signed up.
