Liverpool Manager Jürgen Klopp has told the media this evening the Club he will join if he leaves Liverpool this Summer
Jurgen Klopp will become ‘Bob the Builder’ when he departs Liverpool in the summer.
He’ll put on his work dungarees and help finish a few of ongoing building projects. The German is having two new houses built, one in Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt, and the other in Mallorca, his favourite vacation spot.
It will be a departure from his recent Anfield reconstruction, which included a complete midfield and transformed the Reds into Premier League championship contenders. And it’s why Klopp insists on taking a 12-month hiatus from football to focus on family concerns, including completing off the two dream residences.
The one on the sunny island of Mallorca is causing him the most stress, with Klopp admitting, “The bloody thing’s not even ready yet, and I’m paying the bills.”
Klopp and his wife Ulla purchased the spectacular home from Swiss businessman and artist Rolf Knie for £3.4 million in June 2022, with Ulla in charge of directing the major refurbishment work on the 5,000-square-metre property.
The goal is to transform it into an ecological family paradise, with 75 percent less electricity consumption and a cutting-edge irrigation system that can all be operated by phone.
But, with development behind schedule, Klopp has informed associates that he intends “to get stuck in” and help complete the vast Mediterranean project as soon as his Liverpool duties conclude.
The landscaping of the garden has been left to the same company that built the bespoke garden of multi-millionaire Richard Branson’s hotel ‘Son Bunyola’, which is also located in Mallorca.

The second building in Wiesbaden will allow the Klopps to be closer to relatives, especially since they have recently become first-time grandparents. Jurgen has confessed that he is looking forward to immersing himself in grandparenting during his break.
According to Sunday Mirror/Sunday People Sport, the German Football Federation would like Klopp to succeed Julian Nagelsmann, whose short-term contract expires after this summer’s European Championships.
But Klopp, who would love the opportunity to manage his home country one day, is unwilling to shorten his scheduled vacation. Any building constructed today will be made of bricks and mortar.
