Reports emanating from Germany have claimed that Jurgen Klopp is worrying Red Bull Group chiefs. Image Credits: Imago Images Speculation around Jurgen Klopp’s next move has been relentless ever since he swapped the Anfield dugout for a desk job in the Red Bull empire – and last week the rumour mill focused firmly on Atletico Madrid.

But despite the official statement, the story around Klopp has not settled. A new report from Bild, relayed by Get German Football News, claims senior figures within the Red Bull group are increasingly worried that Klopp could walk away from his corporate post this summer to take over the German national team.

With Leipzig languishing outside the Bundesliga title picture and Salzburg struggling in Europe, the project has not delivered the sporting uplift Red Bull hoped Klopp’s strategic oversight would bring. So while talk of Atletico Madrid appears premature for now, the sense from Germany is that Red Bull may soon be fighting a different battle altogether – trying to convince Klopp not to answer the call from the national team.
