Dirk Kuyt Insists No Divided Loyalties Before Fenerbahçe Face Liverpool
UEFA Champions League · 21:49:22 - Friday, 6 November 2026

Former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has declared he holds no divided loyalties ahead of Fenerbahçe's upcoming clash with his old club. The Dutch striker, who spent six years at Anfield and became a fan favourite, spoke ahead of the European fixture between the Turkish side and the English giants.

Kuyt, now associated with Fenerbahçe in a coaching capacity, emphasized his professional focus despite his deep history with Liverpool. A file photo from a recent legends match at Anfield showed Kuyt warming up for the Liverpool Legends side against Celtic Legends, highlighting his enduring connection to the Merseyside club.

The match pits Kuyt's current employers against the team where he won the FA Cup, League Cup, and Community Shield, and reached the 2007 Champions League final. His comments aim to dispel any suggestion of emotional conflict as the two clubs prepare to meet in competitive action.
