Liverpool will give Jurgen Klopp ‘what he wants’ after update from Germany – pundit
Frank McAvennie has insisted Jurgen Klopp “knows what he is worth” to Liverpool.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former West Ham striker said Klopp is one of the top five managers in the world.
The German has publicly confirmed his commitment to the Merseysiders after owners Fenway Sports Group put the club up for sale but observers have noticed a growing interest behind the scenes in Newcastle.
The 55-year-old has also been linked with the Germany job after their shock World Cup exit threw Hansi Flick’s future into doubt.
But Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke told Sky Germany (2 December) that the Liverpool boss plans to fulfill his Anfield contract, which runs until 2026.
McAvennie insisted the manager knows the value he brings to the Reds.
“I think Klopp knows exactly what he wants and what he is worth and I think Liverpool will give him it,” he told Football Insider.
“But I do not think it is about money with Klopp. He is very secure anyway, he is financially secure for the rest of his life.
“He is an elite manager, there is only about five of them and he is one of them. The likes of Pep [Guardiola], Klopp and [Antonio] Conte at Tottenham. Klopp is one of the top managers out there.“
