talkSPORT’s German football expert Raf Honigstein claims Jurgen Klopp would find it very difficult to turn Liverpool down.

The Borussia Dortmund manager has announced he will leave the Bundesliga side at the end of the season, and has been linked with a switch to Anfield.

And, while unsure whether Brendan Rodgers will be relieved of his duties in the summer, Honigstein believes the 47-year-old would be keen on taking over the Reds.

“Speaking to people close to him in November, where it was already on the cards that he might move to England, it was understood he wanted to move to an established Champions League club,” he told Hawksbee and Jacobs. “He’s also realistic enough to know that there aren’t that many likely offers from top four clubs coming in.

“At the same time, in so far as a emotional connection, and an ideal fit, Borussia Dortmund to Liverpool is the closest resemblance you can find. The fans are a huge part of the club, they also sing you’ll never walk alone. There’s a special kind of atmosphere in the city. It would be very hard for Jurgen Klopp to turn Liverpool down.”
