WHAT HAPPENED? Klopp was touted as possible candidate to takeover as Germany boss following Hansi Flick’s sacking, despite still being under contract at Liverpool until 2026. The 56-year-old signed a new deal last year and has no intention of walking out on the Reds, who have enjoyed a strong start to their latest Premier League campaign.
WHAT THEY SAID: “We’re building Liverpool 2.0 here, we want to attack again and not just look at how much longer can we go on. I have a loyalty to Liverpool,” Klopp said while speaking to RTL.
“My heart is here in Liverpool. You can’t just cut out the eight years. I signed a contract here and, as far as I can remember, I wasn’t drugged or tied up and had to sign with my mouth. That was a free decision. And that’s why it doesn’t fit.”
