Jurgen Klopp rubbishes Juventus rumours

Cape Town - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has moved to dispel rumours claiming that he could leave the Premier League club in the off-season.

Sky in Italy claims that Juve are likely to appoint Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri as the successor to Max Allegri but they are still dreaming of Champions League finalists Mauricio Pochettino and Klopp.

The report from Monday added that 'the club [Juve] are keen to keep all options open to them in the unlikely event a last-minute approach for Klopp or Pochettino becomes an option'.

However, Klopp poured a barrel of cold water over the reports and said there was no way he would leave Liverpool this summer.

"Of course it's a league that I like, it's really exciting but all these rumours I hear about Juventus are bullsh*t," Klopp told Sky Italia.

"There is nothing true about it. I am not going to leave Liverpool. I know Serie A very well, I follow it and I like it, but I am going to stay at Liverpool."

On the final, Klopp told reporters: "We feel this as a real European final. Nothing else. It's a proper European final, nothing else.

"It's not the third game we've played against Tottenham this season - it's a European final."
