Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will return to the city next month and may be in attendance for the Reds’ final game of the season where they are expected to lift the Premier League trophy, a report has claimed.
The German, now working as Red Bull’s head of global soccer, is reportedly set to be a guest speaker at the LFC Foundation dinner at Liverpool Cathedral on May 23.
According to the report, he has also been invited to the Reds final Premier League game of the season against Crystal Palace two days later.
Klopp has not been at Anfield since his emotional farewell after a glorious eight-and-half year reign in charge of the club last May.
The 57-year-old took a break from football before beginning his new role with Red Bull in January.
However, according to The Athletic, he is set to present in Merseyside at the end of the current campaign when the Reds are expected to win a record-equalling 20th top-flight crown.
Jurgen Klopp could be attendance for Liverpool’s final match of the Premier League season
The Reds needs just 11 more points from their final seven matches to secure the Premier League title
Arne Slot has reportedly been regularly exchanged messages with Klopp this season and extended an open invitation to Anfield matches and the club’s training base
Klopp supported the charitable work of the LFC Foundation during his time at Anfield and became an honorary ambassador following his departure last summer.
The report claims that his attendance at the event, which is expected to be confirmed this week, will provide a major boost to their fundraising efforts.
Liverpool need just 11 more points from their final seven games to clinch the Premier League title. Arne Slot’s men suffered a 3-2 defeat by Fulham on Sunday but they still enjoy a mammoth 11-point lead over second-place Arsenal.
Supporters will get the chance to toast the success of the would-be 2025 champions during an open-top bus parade, planned for May 26.
Klopp’s 2020 winners were denied the privilege due to the global pandemic five years ago.
Slot and Klopp have reportedly regularly exchanged messages over the course of this season, with the Dutchman making it clear that there’s an open invitation for his predecessor to either attend games at Anfield or visit the club’s training base.
