According to The Mirror, Germany have set their sights on having Klopp as their next manager.
It is reported that the Reds boss views taking charge of his national side as a “natural development” in his career.
Klopp, 52, has established himself as one of the world’s best managers since he joined Liverpool in 2015.
He guided his team to glory in the Champions League last season, beating Spurs 2-0 in the final.
And the Reds were just two wins away from being crowned Premier League champions before the season was suspended.
Klopp’s side are 25 points clear of Manchester City after winning 27 of their 29 games.
Liverpool will be desperate to keep hold of the former Borussia Dortmund boss for as long as possible.
He is under contract with the Merseyside giants until 2024 after he signed a new deal with the club in December.
Low has been in charge of Germany since 2006 and is under contract with them until 2022.
