Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Jurgen Klopp could be tempted by the Bayern Munich job.

Citing remarks that Klopp made after the home defeat to Burnley when the Reds boss declared: "somebody else is making the decision", Redknapp believes there's tension at Anfield.

He said, “I thought Jurgen's words were really interesting.

“I sensed frustration with him because he wanted a new player. The problem was who could Liverpool buy to replace Virgil Van Dijk?

“You can't spend £50-60 million on a player knowing that in April your best player is coming back from injury. It could cause more problems than it's worth.

“I was surprised to hear what Jurgen said – and maybe in a couple of years he might want to leave to manage someone like Bayern Munich.

“That always seems to be the calling for a lot of German players and managers.

“I think there was a sense of frustration with him, but once Liverpool get their best players back at the end of the season I am sure he will be fine."
