Jürgen Klopp remains Joan Laporta’s favorite to lead Barça next season. Although they also like other names such as Hans-Dieter Flick, who has already started learning Spanish, Imanol Alguacil, Michel Sánchez or Roberto de Zerbi, the Liverpool coach remains the favorite to replace Xavi Hernández. It is not necessary to give much explanation about this, and it is a more than logical position.
He has accumulated incredible experience in the elite, and has proven to be a specialist when it comes to rebuilding teams in low hours, and with financial problems, to return them to glory. In other words, exactly what they are looking for in the Camp Nou , where the budget is limited, and the fans seem to have lost their enthusiasm completely. A priori it may seem like a very complicated goal, and it is, but the fact that he announced that he will not continue at Anfield makes things easier.
Surprisingly, despite having a contract for two more years, the German manager announced that he will leave the ‘nets’ after almost a decade. And they will try to convince him to start a new challenge in La Liga EA Sports , a very attractive competition, and which he still does not know. The former Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund man’s plan was to take a sabbatical, but there have already been clandestine meetings for him to forget about that idea, and postpone it for a while.
Laporta has spoken personally with Klopp to seduce him, and to assume control of Barça from the month of July. He would have complete freedom to plan the additions and subtractions he wants in the team, a responsibility that currently rests with Deco, and could be reunited with former wards such as Robert Lewandowski and Ilkay Gündogan, who hold excellent memories of the manager who managed to turn them into world stars after meeting at Signal Iduna Park.
So the Pole and the ’22’ have not hesitated for a moment when recommending the president to try his luck . They will also do everything possible to get him to end up being Xavi’s replacement on the bench.
Klopp’s wife, an ally for Barça
And although it may seem unlikely, Klopp’s wife, Ulla Sandrock, may end up being decisive for him to land at Barça. Because she has a special predilection for the climate, landscapes and Spanish food, and she would be delighted to live in the county town.
In addition, they have a farm in Mallorca, less than an hour away by plane. This can be a big help for Laporta.
