And according to outlet Le10Sport, PSG’s sporting director Leonardo made a move for Liverpool boss Klopp just before Christmas.

They report that Leonardo made a phone call to Klopp during which he tried to sell the French champions to him.

The call is claimed to have lasted for an hour, with the Brazilian outlining what the club’s Qatari owners wanted them to achieve over the next few years.

But Klopp is also said to have made it totally clear to Leonardo that he is more than happy with life at Anfield right now.

The 52-year-old is fast becoming the biggest managerial name in the world thanks to the job he has done at Liverpool.

Leading the club to the Champions League last season assured him of a place as a Reds legend among the supporters.

But since then he has already gone on to help guide the team to becoming Club World Cup winners.

And now he is on the verge of finally ending Liverpool’s long wait to be crowned Premier League champions.

His side are miles clear at the top of the table with a game in hand on their rivals and barring a collapse of huge proportions seem destined to be title winners by May.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has already conceded his side are no longer candidates for the title.

And the way Liverpool dismantled nearest challengers Leicester to win 4-0 on Boxing Day shows they are a class apart from anyone else.

Klopp clearly feels there is more to come at Anfield, with the club looking to defend their European crown and the side looking a long way ahead of their domestic rivals.
