Steve McManaman claims Bayern Munich are the one club who could tempt Jurgen Klopp with a move away from Liverpool.
Klopp has been the boss at Anfield since 2015 and has transformed the Reds into a dominant force in Europe once again.
Having won the Champions League last season, they now sit 25 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, and are nailed on to win their first league title since 1990.

But McManaman claims that the German could be persuaded to return to his homeland, should Bayern come calling.
“I think he really adores Liverpool and the Premier League,” he exclusively told Daily Star Sport.
“But you could see him going back to Germany and managing Bayern Munich.
“The way that club is run – and the way German managers are treated there – you wouldn’t rule it out. A few years ago it looked like Bayern were on their last legs.
“But now, along with the more experienced players, they’ve got a plethora of youngsters who are hungry.
“I’m not sure Klopp has any desire to manage Real Madrid or Barcelona and I don’t see why he’d go to La Liga though.
“They don’t have the aura that they did when Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were doing battle every week. There is also all the politics behind the scenes at Barca with the board and players.
“Real is a different scenario. They need to refresh their squad and they are bringing in young players like Vinicius Junior – but they aren’t ready yet.”
