And they’re talking to me.”The move is far from done, as he must be released from his contract with the Red Bull group, where he is the Head of Global Soccer, with a DFB clause existing in the deal that will allow him to leave early.Jurgen Klopp has been linked with the Germany job(Image: Getty Images)On what is left to come, Klopp added: "Time.
