Jamie Carragher casts doubt on Jurgen Klopp signing new Liverpool contract

Jamie Carragher is not convinced Jurgen Klopp will sign a new deal at Liverpool .

Klopp is halfway through the six-year deal he agreed in 2016, with his contract expiring in 2022.

Liverpool are ready to hand the German a bumper extension but Klopp is in no rush to enter negotiations over a new contract.

Liverpool legend Carragher thinks this could be Klopp's final contract at Anfield, with his current deal taking his tenure to seven years.

And he insists the Reds players must make this a trophy-laden period following their Champions League success.

“This group of players have got to be looking at this next three or four years because Klopp’s got three years left on his contract," Carragher told Pundit Arena in Dublin.

"I’m not sure if he would sign another one. He’s only ever stayed at a club for seven years.

“I think over the next two or three years Liverpool have got to be looking to try to pick up as many trophies as possible

You want the league, that’s the obvious one. They’ve got competitions this year, the World Club Cup, the Super Cup, just pick as much as you can before he goes.

"And hopefully, over the next two or three years, one of those will be the league for Klopp.”

Liverpool were pipped to the title by Manchester City last season despite reaching 97 points and Carragher admits they may struggle to repeat that feat again.

"Only losing one league game was a phenomenal achievement. 97 points was a phenomenal achievement," he added.

"So, in some ways, if Liverpool got 90 points, I don’t think they’d have gone backwards, because it’s so difficult to do again. But, they’ve just got to hope that City come back as well, a little bit."
