One of Jurgen Klopp's top targets as Liverpool boss has his asking price revealed, and it looks to be an absolute bargain.
Klopp left Liverpool after nine years at the helm of the Anfield club, where the German won everything available to him.
Despite an unbelievable tenure in charge, Klopp's end to life and Liverpool was far from ideal, as the club's quadruple hopes were torn apart in the later stages of the campaign.
Defeats to Atalanta, Man United, and Everton ensured Klopp would leave the club with just the Carabao Cup to his name for his final season, but his work throughout the years already ensured his legacy.

One of the main reasons Klopp managed to turn Liverpool from chasing Europe to trophy contenders was his unbelievable man management and talent ID through transfers.
Players like Virgil Van Dijk, Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were all rated when they signed for the club but became some of the best players in the world under Klopp.
Salah is perhaps a standout, with the player already having an underwhelming stint in the Premier League with Chelsea prior to his Liverpool move.
While Klopp was great at getting his transfers over the line, there was one player that he never managed to get in red, but incoming boss Arne Slot might have a better shot this summer.
Borussia Mönchengladbach's Manu Koné was a name on Liverpool's shopping list for a while, but a new report has now revealed Mönchengladbach's asking price for the midfielder.
According to Get Football News Germany, the Bundesliga club are only after around €18m for the midfielder after he has been transfer listed as the club to rebuild.
The 23-year-old's contract runs until 2026 which is likely to tempt a lot of Premier League clubs. It is unclear if Liverpool's interest in the Frenchman remains, but what is clear is whoever lands Kone will have a hell of a player on their hands.
Kone missed out on France's EURO 2024 squad but has been called up for the summer Olympics in Paris, where his value may skyrocket.
