Liverpool open talks to extend Jürgen Klopp's contract beyond 2024 (The Guardian)

FSG's president, Mike Gordon, was at Anfield with the manager's agent, Marc Kosicke, on Wednesday night with a contract extension on their agenda.

Liverpool’s outstanding form this season – they have won the Carabao Cup, face Chelsea in the FA Cup final, trail Manchester City by one point in the title race with five games left and are on course for a third Champions League final appearance in five seasons – has helped to re-energise Klopp. But he has also been enthused by the club’s long-term planning. But in early March, asked about staying beyond 2024, he said: “If I have the energy levels for it. Liverpool’s owners have long hoped the 54-year-old would sign another contract with the club he has revitalised since his arrival in October 2015.

Jurgen Klopp signs Liverpool contract extension until 2026 (ESPN)

Jurgen Klopp has signed a contract extension at Liverpool that will see him remain at Anfield until 2026, the club announced on Thursday.

Do I have the energy and vibe to give of myself again what this amazing place requires from the person in the manager's office? It also applies to the leader he is and the man he is. He guided Liverpool to the first Premier League title in the club's history in 2020 after they lifted the Champions League trophy the previous year. "There is a freshness about us as a club still and this energises me. I had to ask myself the question: Is it right for Liverpool that I stay longer? The feeling we were absolutely right for each other is what brought me here in the first place and it's why I've extended previously.

As with Klopp, the contracts of both Lijnders and Krawietz were both set to expire in just over two years. Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have been delighted with the work done by Klopp and were keen for him to stay.

Jurgen Klopp signs new contract to stay at Liverpool until 2026 (Independent Online)

The German, whose previous deal was due to expire in 2024, said he was 'delighted, humbled, blessed' to be staying for an extra two years.

His contract expires next year, at the same time as those for fellow forwards Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino run out. The feeling we were absolutely right for each other is what brought me here in the first place and it's why I've extended previously." "There is just so much to love about this place," he said. Klopp is already the longest-serving manager in the Premier League and should he see out his new deal it would mean an 11-year stay -- a rarity at one of the world's biggest clubs in the modern game. Klopp's quote echoes the new chant to the tune of The Beatles song "I Feel Fine" -- dedicated to the Reds boss. He added: "When the owners brought the possibility to renew to me, I asked myself the question I've mused over publicly -- 'Do I have the energy and vibe to give of myself again what this amazing place requires from the person in the manager's office?'

Liverpool breeze past Villarreal to close in on Champions League final (SowetanLIVE)

An own goal and a Sadio Mane strike earned Liverpool a 2-0 victory in their Champions League semifinal first leg against Villarreal on Wednesday.

Liverpool turned it up a notch after the break and moments after Brazilian midfielder Fabinho had seen one effort ruled out for offside, Henderson's cross was deflected into his own net by Pervis Estupinan to break Villarreal's resistance. But Liverpool did enough to build themselves a solid lead for Tuesday's return game in Spain where they will be confident of finishing off the job. “They are a very organised team and we knew they would make it difficult.

However, Liverpool are a different beast six years on and the limitations of a side sitting seventh in La Liga were shown up as they struggled to mount any sort of response to going behind. The Reds remain on course for an unprecedented quadruple of Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup. Emery was hailed the "king of the cups" by Klopp for his stunning Europa League record, with one of his four triumphs in that competition coming as Sevilla boss against the German during his first season at Liverpool in 2016. The Reds remain on course for an unprecedented quadruple of Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Liverpool transfer news, rumours, gossip and speculation including updates on Jurgen Klopp, Aurelien Tchouameni, Darwin Nunez and Enes Uanl.

The plan is still the same, nothing changed really and if I decide - if I decide - then to leave, or maybe I get the sack in 2023, but if I decide to leave in 2024, it has nothing to do with the quality of the squad. EXCLUSIVE: Jurgen Klopp has today signed a contract extension to keep him at Liverpool until 2026. According to the Mirror, it was Klopp who approached FSG to suggest he would be open to accepting a new contract. Former Liverpool player Stewart Downing believes the Reds have solved the equation when it comes to scoring goals in tight games. Speaking to bettingexpert, he said: “I changed my mind honestly about four or five times in the last couple of weeks! Following last night’s result, Liverpool’s odds, via Betfair, have shortened to 6/1 from 7/1 to win the quadruple this season. A Champions League and Premier League title later, and with the club chasing an unprecedented quadruple, it has been a major success. It also applies to the leader he is and the man he is. But after a difficult campaign played behind closed doors last season, where the Reds failed to rekindle the kind of form that saw them dominate domestically and in Europe through 2019 and 2020, Klopp feels he has been suitably re-energised to stay at the helm for a further two years. The signing of Klopp to a longer contract will be met with delight by all those associated with Liverpool, from fans to players, from owners to sponsors. “But speaking on behalf of my partners John [Henry] and Tom [Werner], as well as myself, Jürgen is the perfect figurehead for the modern Liverpool FC. This is especially true of what he stands for, on and off the pitch. It was confirmed earlier this afternoon by the club that the German had signed a contract extension, keeping him at the helm until 2026.

During a conversation with Gordon, the manager said he could imagine himself being at the club for the rest of his career. Mike Gordon, the FSG president and man in charge of these discussions, enjoys an incredibly strong relationship with Klopp. He often stays over at the manager's home when he travels to Merseyside and has previously drafted fresh terms after a casual chat with the 54-year-old. Want the Liverpool latest? The former may still harbour managerial ambitions of his own. FSG's president then called principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner with a new deal drawn up in a matter of hours. Klopp, having endured a draining last season professionally and personally, has been revitalised this campaign and beyond being the driving force for Liverpool's quadruple push, has been involved in the process of 'building the next great team' through long-term recruitment planning.

The tables from five years ago have been well and truly turned for Liverpool. Where they were once clueless when having lots of possession, their opponents are now hopeless in both attacking and defensive terms when they do. While they had been under pressure for much of their quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich, they were still able to break out and have a total of 16 shots in the 180 minutes. It was the seventh time Liverpool have scored from a high turnover in the league this season, more than any other team in the division. There’s a famous image of Adam Lallana almost collapsing in his manager’s arms when he was substituted in Klopp’s first game in charge, a 0-0 draw at Tottenham. The Reds were now a high pressing team and determined to prove that whether home or away. Liverpool were repeatedly set this test in 2015/16 and then Klopp’s first full season at the helm, and repeatedly they failed it. If you wanted to look at how far Liverpool have come under the management of Jürgen Klopp, you only have to look at the competitions they have won and continue to compete for these days, compared with when he was first appointed.

They certainly share an impressive work rate, with David in the 87th percentile for pressures per 90 and the 72nd for tackles. He can, and will, continue to develop his all-round game, but if Liverpool decide that they need another forward, it’s hard to look past David for that reasonable price. He’s only scored once since the turn of the year after an electric first half of the season, though it’s worth noting that Lille’s title defence has generally been a disaster, with Jocelyn Gourvennec’s side languishing in ninth place. With 41 games’ worth of experience in attacking midfield too, he looks potentially well-suited to a false 9 role in the Reds’ front three. Consider the two forwards that Liverpool have signed in the past year and a half. In September 2020, The Athletic revealed that David featured on Liverpool’s attacking shortlist after ‘extensive’ scouting.
