‘Want me to take him on holiday?!’ - Jurgen Klopp gives hilarious response to Sparta Prague player question amid Liverpool boss’ plans to ‘retire in the summer’

Liverpool boss Klopp watched his side win 5-1 on Thursday to make the second leg something of a moot point. He was asked after the game if any Sparta players had caught his eye, and could potentially move to Anfield in the summer.

The interviewer, it seems, had forgotten that Klopp has announced that he will leave the club after the current campaign.

Klopp told reporters after the match, per the Daily Mail's Lewis Steele: "I retire in the summer. You want me to take him on holiday?"

Liverpool will have to find a new manager this summer but, first, they will hope to give him the send-off he deserves. The Reds have already won the Carabao Cup but will aim to follow up with the Europa League, the FA Cup, and the Premier League. A quadruple wouldn't be a bad way to say goodbye.

Liverpool play Manchester City in a blockbuster top-of-the-table clash this weekend. A win would see the Reds extend their lead at the Premier League's summit to four points and give them a huge boost in a hotly contested title race.
