Jurgen Klopp has signed a contract extension with Liverpool, and his new deal with the Reds could have a devastating effect on Chelsea's summer transfer plans. The German boss, who took charge at Anfield in October 2015, has secured a future on the red half of Merseyside until 2026.
Klopp and his staff were already tied down until 2024, but they have now prolonged said agreements by two years. The Liverpool boss' deal surfaces days after the club registered an initial interest in Blues transfer target Aurélien Tchouameni, according to FootMercato.
The report claims that the 22-year-old is interested in the prospect of a switch to the Premier League. The France international was on Thomas Tuchel's transfer shopping list at the start of the season, but the board opted against signing him because they felt the he could've done with another 12 months of development, as per The Athletic.
