Jurgen Klopp to Bayern Munich? Former Liverpool player admits it’s possible | OneFootball

Former Liverpool player Jamie Redknapp believes Jurgen Klopp is growing frustrated at Liverpool and might consider moving back to Germany once his contract at Anfield comes to an end.

Klopp made his frustrations known over the fact that his side weren’t able to sign a replacement for the injured Virgil van Dijk during the winter transfer window.

He did bring in Ben Davies from Championship club Preston for £2m and Ozan Kabak was brought in on loan from Schalke. But the Reds boss complained to the media that he did not have sufficient funds to spend on an expensive defender.

And Redknapp thinks Klopp’s comments might have a deeper meaning.

“I thought Jurgen’s words were really interesting,” Redknapp told the Sunday Mirror.

“I sensed frustration with him because he wanted a new player. The problem was who could Liverpool buy to replace Virgil Van Dijk?

“You can’t spend £50-60million on a player knowing that in April your best player is coming back from injury. It could cause more problems than it’s worth.

“I was surprised to hear what Jurgen said – and maybe in a couple of years he might want to leave to manage someone like Bayern Munich. That always seems to be the calling for a lot of German players and managers.

“I think there was a sense of frustration with him, but once Liverpool get their best players back at the end of the season I am sure he will be fine.”

Could Klopp really manage Bayern someday?

Last week, DFB director Oliver Bierhoff named Hansi Flick and Klopp, among others, as favorites to take over as Germany coach in the future.

“Jurgen Klopp, Julian Nagelsmann, Marco Rose, Thomas Tuchel and Hansi Flick. I know Hansi very well from his time at the DFB and I really appreciate him,” he said.

“These coaches are currently under contract with top clubs and Champions League participants, but of course I watch them, no question about it.”
