Liverpool are looking to fend of interest for manager Jurgen Klopp from the Germany national team who eye him as Joachim Low's successor claims a report.
The Daily Mirror write that there is a growing enthusiasm within the corridors of football power in his homeland to line up Klopp as a successor to Joachim Low and, more significantly, Klopp himself is believed to see managing the national side as a natural development in his career.
Low’s contract with the Germany team expires in 2022, the same year as Klopp’s previous Anfield deal ran to with the Reds boss having penned a new contract until the summer of 2024 earlier this season.
The article concedes though that the Liverpool manager's current contract does not include a get-out clause and there are no suggestions that he would even consider leaving as early as 2022.
But Klopp will turn 57 in the summer of 2024 and the piece also declares that he has privately hinted that Liverpool is likely to be his last club job.
However, it is a measure of his commitment that rival elite clubs harbour little hope of prising him away from Anfield.
So Kopites should rest easy for now.
