Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, has dismissed speculation linking him with the vacancy at Juventus as “bulls***”.

The Serie A champions are searching for a new manager after announcing last week that Massimiliano Allegri will no longer be in charge next season.

Klopp is not ranked among the front-runners for the Juventus role, with Chelsea counterpart Maurizio Sarri currently the favourite to replace Allegri.

And ahead of his side travelling to Madrid for Saturday’s Champions League final, the Liverpool manager ruled out any possibility of him moving to Turin.

“Of course it’s a league that I like, it’s really exciting, but all these rumours I hear about Juventus are bulls***,” he told Sky Italia.

Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Show all 24 1 /24 Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings How did we rate Liverpool's players and Jurgen Klopp during the 2018-19 campaign? AFP/Getty Images Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Alisson Becker - 8/10 A few nervous moments here and his cavalier approach tempts fate slightly too often, but the £65m signing from Roma has been a marked upgrade on his predecessors. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Simon Mignolet - 6/10 Played just twice, in two domestic cup defeats, but Mignolet has been an exemplary dressing room influence despite a year spent in Alisson’s shadow. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Trent Alexander-Arnold - 9/10 His 13 assists from right-back set a new record for a defender in Premier League history. Still just 20-years-old, yet already one of the world’s best in his position. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Virgil van Dijk - 9.5/10 The PFA Player of the Year was a deserving winner, having barely had an off day since August. His transformative effect on Liverpool’s defence cannot be underestimated. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Joe Gomez - 7/10 Excellent in the first half of the campaign as Van Dijk’s partner in central defence, unfortunate to then break his leg and miss much of the remainder. Reuters Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Dejan Lovren - 6/10 Never disgraced himself but injury and the form of others have demoted Lovren from Liverpool’s second-choice centre-back to their fourth. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Joel Matip - 8/10 Stepped in to partner Van Dijk in the second half of the campaign and defied his critics. His performance in the win over Barcelona was particularly good. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Andrew Robertson - 9/10 The best full-back in the Premier League over the last 18 months. His work rate, delivery and sheer tenacity are exceptional. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Alberto Moreno - 4/10 Little more than cover for Robertson, he stepped in on occasion without causing chaos. Will leave Anfield when his contract expires this summer. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Fabinho - 8/10 Took time to adapt to Klopp’s style and the rigours of English football but now appears right at home. His snarling display against Barcelona was a highlight. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Naby Keita - 6/10 A qualified disappointment. Not yet lived up to great expectations, but there have been enough moments of promise to suggest he will have a better second season. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Jordan Henderson - 8/10 The much-maligned captain has shown why he has the trust of many at Anfield. More effective when he was moved out of holding midfield and further forward during the run-in. AFP/Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings James Milner - 7/10 33-years-old, yet shows few signs of fading out. A player for the big moments, he was excellent in the victory over Paris Saint-Germain. Getty Images Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - N/A Limited to only two appearances due to the serious knee injury which was supposed to prevent him from playing a single minute this season. Will hope to stay fit next year. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Georginio Wijnaldum - 8/10 Quietly excellent, keeping Liverpool’s midfield ticking over and winning possession back when required. Chipped in with big goals against Cardiff and Barcelona. Reuters Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Adam Lallana - 4/10 Most certainly on the fringes now after two seasons without consistent playing time. Impressed in some cameos, not in others. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Xherdan Shaqiri - 6/10 Appeared to be an ideal impact substitute in the first half of the campaign, but his form tailed off and then so did the first-team opportunities. Origi now seems to be preferred. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Sadio Mané - 9/10 The finest season of career to date. Stepped into Salah’s shoes when the Egyptian’s scoring dipped, ensuring Liverpool’s front-line lost very little potency. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Mohamed Salah - 8/10 It was always going to be difficult to match last year, but Salah came close. 26 goals and 13 assists in all competitions is a brilliant return. AFP/Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Roberto Firmino - 8/10 Another who did not always reach the heights of last year but still the finest practitioner of the ‘false nine’ role in the Premier League. Reuters Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Divock Origi - 8/10 Only played 21 times, only scored seven times but made an impact that will save his Anfield career. Goals against Everton, Barcelona and Newcastle were all huge. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Daniel Sturridge - 6/10 On his way out this summer, and performances later in the season showed why, but enjoyed a excellent September and scored that brilliant, late equaliser at Chelsea. Getty Liverpool 2018-19 player ratings Jurgen Klopp - 9/10 Made the most of the resources at his disposal, recorded a huge points total, yet fell just short of the title. Getty

“There is nothing true about it. I am not going to leave Liverpool. I know Serie A very well, I follow it and I like it, but I am going to stay at Liverpool.”

Klopp is yet to win a major honour since joining Liverpool in 2015 and has lost each of the last six finals he has competed.

Even so, his methods have guided Liverpool back to the top table of European football and he is hopeful of success against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

“Every final is special and I always prepare it in the same way I did in the past,” he said.

“If I had won those finals I’d be happier but the preparation was the same. This Liverpool side is the best team I ever brought to a final.
