Jurgen Klopp leaves the door open to extending Liverpool stay

Jurgen Klopp has left the door open to possibly extending his stay at Liverpool beyond his contract ending in 2024.

Reports have suggested that the Liverpool boss would not be willing to sign a new contract and would like a break from football in two years time.

However, when quizzed by ITV before Liverpool's FA Cup fifth round clash with Norwich City, the German said 'I don't know' about extending his current deal.

Klopp admitted that the year of Covid-19 in football took a toll on his love for the game at the time, but, with fans back in the stadium and Liverpool back to their best, he may be looking towards the future.

"I didn't feel a difference to the Champions League final. It felt as big as that to me," Klopp said pre-match.

"Was it time to win a trophy? Yes! Overdue? I wouldn't say so. Last year was not the year to win a trophy, no chance. We didn't have a defence. I wouldn't say it was overdue but I would say 'in time'.

"I think both sides knew there was a good chance this would work out. The way this club is, the way I am, yes, I would say it was suitable.

"I really don't know [If I will stay on] Our owners understood things will take time, we needed that.

"They are interested in development as well and that is pretty helpful."
