JAKARTA - Bayern Munich are preparing to persuade Jurgen Klopp to leave Liverpool this summer, if the Bundesliga club feel current coach Hansi Flick will leave and be appointed coach of the German national team, according to a 90min report on Monday.

Flick has performed superbly since taking over the Bayern coaching chair in November 2019, leading the club to an unprecedented six titles last season.

Bayern are understood to have no desire to part ways with Flick, but sources have revealed to 90min that the coach is likely to leave the Allianz Arena this summer to replace Joachim Low in the German national team.

The Bundesliga club are now rumoured to be considering Klopp as their main target should Flick leave Bayern.

Klopp has never hidden his admiration for Bayern. He had an interview to coach Bayern in 2008, but ended up losing to Jurgen Klinsmann.
