- Prunea alleged Klopp joined Red Bull "just to collect money" and claimed he went to Salzburg to "hang around and get some money for nothing."
- Klopp left Liverpool after the 2023/24 season citing exhaustion and now works in a multi-club oversight role across RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and New York Red Bulls.
- Klopp has previously said he does not want to return to coaching and stated he aims to "add value" in his Red Bull position.
- UK outlets noted Prunea's status as a UEFA delegate responsible for match operations, and as of publication reported no formal response from UEFA.
