It will be hard for Dortmund's Klopp to turn down Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp will find it extremely difficult to reject any potential offers from Liverpool.

The 47-year old tactician will leave his post at Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season and is being linked with a possible summer move to Anfield if Brendan Rodgers is removed.

Whether or not that is the case, talkSPORT's German football expert Raf Honigstein suggests that Klopp would find it hard to turn down an approach from the Merseysiders if it were to come his way.

"Speaking to people close to him in November, where it was already on the cards that he might move to England, it was understood he wanted to move to an established Champions League club," he told Hawksbee and Jacobs.

"He's also realistic enough to know that there aren't that many likely offers from top four clubs coming in.

"At the same time, in so far as a emotional connection, and an ideal fit, Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool is the closest resemblance you can find. The fans are a huge part of the club, they also sing you'll never walk alone.

"There's a special kind of atmosphere in the city. It would be very hard for Jurgen Klopp to turn Liverpool down."
