Italian journalist, Tancredi Palmeri, has suggested that Juventus have purportedly made a futile approach to try and get Jürgen Klopp to Turin – the German, though, reportedly turned them down. “Boom” indeed!
There is absolutely no way Reds fans would ever believe that Jürgen would leave Anfield.
BOOM! Klopp has been contacted by Juventus, but with no consequence

The beIN Sports correspondent is known for sometimes making outlandish claims, so its up for conjecture as to whether this claim is bona fide.
LFC Transfer Room have also picked up the story, so perhaps its more a case of highlighting the idea rather than the reality of the situation arising.
Juventus has contacted Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp about their vacant manager’s position, but it came to nothing. [@tancredipalmeri] #LFC

Calciomercato had previously reported that the Italian champions were keen to bring Klopp in, deeming him financially available give their resources.
But they would have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting Klopp to leave Liverpool given his unimaginable success with us and with the magical connection he has with the Reds.
We’ll just take it as a laughable compliment to Klopp’s managerial talents, but we’re not worried that anything of the sort will be happening any time soon. Ciao!
