Stan Collymore has claimed Chelsea would be one of the clubs looking to take Jurgen Klopp as manager if he leaves Liverpool.
Since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in 2015, Klopp has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup.
However, the 55-year-old is now under intense pressure.
Liverpool are currently 10th in the Premier League table, 11 points off the top four.
They’re already out of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and will face Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16.
Collymore feels that if the Reds decide to sack Klopp, or if he walks away, then Chelsea would be among the sides looking to bring him in.
“The reality is, if FSG sack Klopp, there is no one else out there better equipped to do a better job.
“So anyone calling for him to go should be careful what they wish for because I’m certain that if he suddenly became available, you’d have Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG and even Chelsea all lining up,” Collymore told Caught Offside.
He added: ‘I still don’t think Jurgen Klopp should be facing the sack at Liverpool. I know they’re having an awful season but we need to look further back than just the past six months.
‘Remember where Liverpool were when he came in – they were a real mess!
‘They had a below-average squad, were barely competitive and couldn’t attract top players.
‘Klopp single-handedly changed all of that and went on to win every trophy possible along the way, and he didn’t just turn them into a winning side, he completely revolutionised their style of play.’
