The former Liverpool boss met senior German football association (DFB) officials in New York on Friday.
Market Impact
While the DFB said more talks were planned next week and an agreement with Red Bull, where Klopp has been head of global football since January 2025, is still to be reached, it is now just a matter of time before Klopp replaces Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned following the team's early World Cup exit. "DFB President Bernd Neuendorf and DFB Vice President Hans-Joachim Watzke held their first in-depth talks with JΓΌrgen Klopp in New York regarding his potential appointment as national team coach," said the DFB in a statement. "During the constructive exchange, an agreement was reached on the key points of a potential contract. "Both sides are confident that the negotiations – subject to an agreement with Klopp's current employer, Red Bull – can ultimately be successfully concluded." It is expected Klopp will agree a four-year contract for what will be his first coaching job since ending his nine-year tenure at Liverpool in the summer of 2024 and his first in international football.
The market angle matters because clubs rarely move in isolation. Contract timing, squad balance, wage structure, and competition for the same player can all change the pace of a transfer story.
