Jurgen Klopp will stay loyal to Liverpool this summer.

The Reds boss has been linked as a potential front-runner to take over from under-fire Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari at the Bernabeu.

Real are set to embark on another overhaul after being dumped out of the Champions League by Ajax 5-3 on aggregate. They are also 12 points behind arch rivals Barcelona in La Liga with Solari expected to be relieved of his duties.

However, the Spanish giants will be wasting their time if they make an approach to secure Klopp's services.

The 51-year-old intends to remain committed to Liverpool , regardless of how the closing months of this season pan out as his side chase glory in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Klopp is happy and settled on Merseyside and fully intends to honour the six-year contract which runs until 2022.

He has overseen three-and-a-half years of sustained progress at Anfield since taking over from Brendan Rodgers in October 2015.

Three major finals have all ended in defeat but he has put Liverpool back challenging for the biggest prizes both at home and abroad having transformed the squad he inherited. He also enjoys a strong relationship with owners Fenway Sports Group.

Asked about the prospect of signing another contract extension back in January, Klopp said: “I would be really happy if they didn't come now because I don't want to think about it.

“I have a long time (left on my contract). There will be a lot of changes before then (2022) but I don't want to think about it at the moment. This year and next year then we will see.”

Klopp has previously said that he intends to retire from management by the age of 60. He also said that he has promised his family that when he eventually leaves Liverpool he will take a one-year break from football.
