KLOPP GIVES HIS RESPONSE TO BAYERN LINKS AFTER UCL WIN

Jurgen Klopp has denied being interested in taking over as Bayern Munich manager.

The Liverpool boss led his side to victory in the Champions League final on Saturday night as they overcame Tottenham 2-0 to pick up the trophy for the sixth time in their history.

And following the final, Bayern legend Franz Beckenbaeur made it clear he wanted Klopp to take over the German giants.



However, Klopp told German newspaper BILD: 'I like Franz — and he likes me. But I have a long-term contract at Liverpool.

'I would rather he said that than him saying and thinking that I cannot (be Bayern manager).

'However, both Bayern and Borussia Dortmund have very good coaches. And what could be in five years or more, I do not know.



'Maybe there will be completely different coaches that qualify.'

There have also been suggestions that Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk are attracting interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But Klopp has no fears over them leaving Liverpool: 'I think the players know what an extraordinary club they're playing for, so I'm not worried about that.'
