Jurgen Klopp has set his sights on young Barcelona duo Aleix Garrido and Noah Darvich as he prepares to start his new role at Red Bull.

Klopp will become global head of soccer for the energy drinks firm in the New Year, overseeing their stable of clubs which includes RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and the New York Red Bulls.

While not involved in the clubs' day-to-day operations, the German will provide strategic vision and support individual sporting directors in advancing the Red Bull philosophy.



He will also aid Red Bull's global scouting team, handing him control of transfers.

While he still has another two months to relax, Klopp is already preparing to get started.

Darvich meanwhile has appeared regularly for Atletic this season, as well as captaining Germany's Under-19 side, though he is yet to make his senior debut.

Klopp has already outlined his desire to improve the quality of players at Red Bull's clubs!

“The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not.

“By joining Red Bull at a global level, I want to develop, improve and support the incredible football talent that we have at our disposal.

As I said, this could not excite me more.”

Red Bull's CEO of Corporate Projects and Investments, Oliver Mintzlaff, has hailed the successful signing of Klopp.

“We are very proud of this outstanding and certainly the strongest signing in Red Bull's soccer history,” he said.
