According to Liverpool's official statement, Benítez and Klopp have agreed to attend the club's charity celebration dinner on May 25, where many other legendary players of the club, including Steven Gerrard, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Sir Kenny Dalglish, etc. will also attend.

In addition to celebrating the current head coach Arne Slot has made achievements this season, this dinner is also to raise funds for Liverpool's local youth education charity fund.

In addition, according to the news brought by renowned English Liverpool team correspondent David Lynch, this is currently the only event where the two have confirmed that they will return to the club.

Lynch refuted rumours claiming that the two will attend the Premier League game between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

He said that because they did not want to create unnecessary pressure for Slot and the team at such a critical moment, neither of them planned to return to Anfield this week.

The most likely time for Benítez and Klopp to return to Anfield to watch the club's game should be the day when Liverpool lifts the trophy on the final the Premier League match against Crystal Palace this season.

It is worth mentioning that the last time Rafael Benítez publicly appeared in the audience to watch Liverpool's game was the Champions League final in 2019.

Since then, due to the lockdown caused by the COVID-19, Benítez was unable to return to Anfield in person the following year to participate witness the Reds breaking their 30-year top-flight title drought.
