Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez will leave the club at the end of the season and the Spanish giants are looking for replacements.
Former striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has now urged the club to appoint Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as the Spaniard’s replacement. The striker will know all about the German manager having played under him at Borussia Dortmund.
Speaking on Gerard Romeo’s Twitch account, the former Barcelona striker said: “Klopp gives you everything, energy, he has won great titles, he is a good coach. If there is a chance for Barca he is a good option, I was very comfortable with him in Dortmund. It would be incredible if could come.”
Klopp has confirmed that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season and he needs to take some time off in order to recharge his batteries. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona can convince him to take over.
The German manager has been exceptional for Liverpool in the Premier League and he helped them win multiple trophies during his time at the club.
He has proven himself at the highest level and he could transform Barcelona. The 56-year-old is one of the best managers of the modern era and he is certainly good enough to manage the biggest clubs in the world.
Barcelona have a talented young squad at their disposal and Klopp could take them to a whole new level.
The Spanish giants have struggled in the European competitions in recent seasons and they need a top class manager who can guide them to the top of European football once again. The German helped Liverpool win the Champions League and he has guided them to four more European finals as well.
Klopp is clearly intent on taking a break from management and Barcelona would have to come with a really lucrative proposal in order to change his mind.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. If they fail to convince the German manager in the coming months, it will be interesting to see who they bring in as a replacement for Xavi Hernandez. The Spaniard has done a reasonable job at his boyhood club so far but Barcelona need an appointment with a more proven pedigree going forward.
