Liverpool are looking to fend off fierce interest from Germany in their manager Jurgen Klopp, according to reports.
Klopp has built Liverpool into arguably the most formidable club side in world football, winning last season's Champions League and putting the Reds on the brink of clinching their first-ever Premier League title.
Klopp has committed his long-term future to Liverpool until 2024, but according to the Mirror, Germany are lining him up as their ideal successor to Joachim Low.
