In spite of having three years left on his Liverpool contract, Klopp is reportedly contemplating leaving for Barcelona, attracted by the prospect of revitalizing the struggling club. Current Barcelona coach Xavi faces increasing scrutiny amid poor performances, with rumors suggesting Klopp is favored by club president Joan Laporta as a potential replacement.
In case Xavi is dismissed, Barcelona is reportedly considering Girona’s Michel and Las Palmas’ Javier Garcia Pimienta, with Rafa Marquez possibly taking interim charge. El Nacional provides insight into Klopp’s prospective strategy at Barcelona, emphasizing his desire for a squad “revolution.” Klopp aims to keep impactful players like Robert Lewandowski while considering the departure of non-contributors, including Sergi Roberto, Oriol Romeu, Marcos Alonso, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres.
Regarding the midfield, Klopp eyes Wilfried Ndidi from Leicester due to Bayern Munich’s high valuation, favoring Joshua Kimmich as the preferred defensive midfielder. He sees rising talent Lamine Yamal as a potential future “legend” and may consider bringing Liverpool’s Luis Diaz with him or pursuing Girona’s Savio if he assumes the Camp Nou role.
While no official approach has been made, Klopp envisions a significant overhaul at Barcelona, aiming for a squad revolution and strategic player acquisitions. The situation highlights Barcelona’s current struggles, with Klopp seen as a potential catalyst for change and a return to prominence.
