Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool contract extension
This week German newspaper AZ have interviewed journalist Rafa Honigstein to gain insight on Liverpool.
Rafa Honigstein has authored the book ‘Bring the Noise: The Jürgen Klopp Story’ about how Liverpool signed the German.
According to Honigstein, while Klopp is out of contract at Anfield in 2022, he believes the manager will agree a new deal:
Klopp is totally happy at Liverpool and the club is totally happy with him. I think that he will renew his contract beyond 2022.
Regardless of whether (Liverpool) become champions or Champions League winners, he will extend to 99.9 percent.
Für die @Abendzeitung zu schreiben, ist immer eine Ehre, aber als Autor interviewt zu werden, die Steigerung. Danke, mate @honigstein #livfcb pic.twitter.com/I77Iwp1dul

Could he join Bayern Munich
The story goes that in 2008, Bayern could have appointed Klopp.
Instead they chose to name Jurgen Klinsmann as their manager instead.
Could Klopp end up at Bayern after his spell at Liverpool finishes? Honigstein commented:
Bayern would have liked Klopp, even in the aftermath and probably still today.
(If Klopp signs new Liverpool deal), that does not mean that he will never go to Bayern. Klopp says for logical reasons alone, Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world.
He is flexible and ambitious enough to think about this opportunity if there is another opportunity.
