The charismatic German joined the Reds in 2015 and signed a new six-year contract in July 2016, which was then extended until 2024 before Christmas.

However, it was initially feared that he’d pack his bags in 2022 and possibly head to Spain.

But according to The Athletic, it was his wife – Ulla – who helped convince him to remain on Merseyside.

It’s suggested she loves Merseyside and enjoys a relatively normal life with her husband in England.

Klopp is also reportedly wary of managing either Real Madrid or Barcelona given that he doesn’t speak Spanish.

They won the Champions League last season and now look almost certain to bag Premier League glory this term.

Klopp’s men are a staggering 22 points clear of Manchester City in second spot.

His expensively-assembled squad had to work hard to grind out a 3-2 win over West Ham on Monday, though.

“The Champions League final [against Tottenham ] helped a lot to know we are able to [keep winning],” he said after the match.

“I said after, it was the worst final I played with a team but we won! We learned in that season to do the right things again and again.
