According to Fabrizio Romano, there is no truth to the reports linking Jurgen Klopp with a job at Barcelona. This is why Europe’s two biggest clubs need new coaches at the end of the season.Naturally, there has been much speculation as to who will replace them. While Liverpool have clear candidates to replace Klopp, former Red Xabi Alonso appears to be the favourite, followed by Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi and Julian Nagelsmann, and Barcelona’s options look much more limited.
Football Transfers have exclusively revealed that reports linking Arsenal Spain coach Mikel Arteta with the Blaugrana boss are untrue. But what about Klopp? The German player has also been linked with the Catalans and Fabrizio Romano revealed the truth behind the rumours. There is little chance of Klopp coming to Barcelona”We certainly saw a link with Barcelona after Xavi said he would quit his job, but there’s nothing to worry about at the moment,” Romano told CaughtOffside. “Everything is still in the early stages and new. Barça will take time to make a decision. It will not be decided in a few days… step by step. “Klopp has made it clear that he wants to retire for a season, so I think it will be more difficult for Barcelona or anyone else to loan him out for next season.
I understand that it doesn’t make sense at the moment that this is happening. “Finally, this also seems to be an almost impossible task from a financial perspective. The cash-strapped Catalans are unlikely to afford to sign the 56-year-old, who is one of the world’s highest-paid managers, from Liverpool.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Barcelona coach Xavi shocked the football world when they announced on the same day last week that they were leaving their respective clubs.
