Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp tells Liverpool fans: ‘Stop singing my song!’

Jurgen Klopp has sent a message to Liverpool fans after hearing his name being chanted at Anfield as his side went 3-0 up at Tottenham Hotspur.

Anfield is known for its atmosphere and Liverpool fans have long shown their love for the club by singing about their players and managers.

One chant that gained traction last season was to the tune of The Beatles’ ‘I Feel Fine’, with lyrics adapted to honor the Liverpool boss.

After the Reds’ 4-3 win against Tottenham, Klopp asked fans not to chant his name during the game.

The coach explained: “At 3-0 it wasn’t the result due to a sensational climate. “Practically everyone got it wrong, everyone.”

Klopp complimented the fans’ songs, saying he likes “all of them”, but he added: “My song, don’t sing it.

“If you want to sing it, sing it after the game at the bar, anywhere.

“Because it’s almost like closing the game, we’re 3-0 up [after 15 minutes] and they start with ‘I’m so glad Jurgen is red’ and I was like ‘It’s not over yet’.

“So it would be really cool if you could save that for later.”

It’s not a new message from Klopp.

Even at the start of his tenure, when Liverpool fans chanted the German’s name to Opus’ ‘Live is Life’, the manager asked fans to stop chanting his name during matches. After a win over Leicester in 2016, Klopp told fans: “Please don’t chant my name until the game is decided.”

“That’s good, but it’s not necessary,” he added. “It would be really nice if you could stop, please!”

After Sunday’s win, Klopp went to the Kop and showed the crowd his signature fist pumps – something we haven’t seen much of this season.

We’re not sure the fans will fully comply with Klopp’s request, but the next time Liverpool take the lead there may be less party atmosphere at Anfield.

Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich make Sadio Mane ‘decision’ as ex-Liverpool transfer target could replace Harry Kane

Liverpool rivals roundup: Bayern Munich are reportedly looking for a new club for Sadio Mane and Tottenham are reportedly looking to replace Harry Kane.
Liverpool boosted their chances of finishing in the Premier League’s top four with a victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, although that remains a difficult task.

The Reds are still unlikely to qualify for the Champions League with just five games remaining between them and Manchester United and Newcastle. Despite this harsh reality, Liverpool will be looking to finish in the top four every game until it is mathematically impossible for them, with at least a Europa League place likely assured.

Jurgen Klopp has introduced a new system in recent weeks, potentially with next season and signings in mind. However, which players the club will target or bring in during the summer transfer window remains a mystery.

A number of possible signings have been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks. Chelsea’s Mason Mount, Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch and Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister are the players who have dominated the Reds rumour.

Here, Liverpool.com takes a look at other top teams in the Premier League and across Europe for an overview of news happening at other clubs.

Bayern Munich are looking for a buyer for Sadio Mané

Since Sadio Mané left Liverpool last summer to join FC Bayern Munich, not everything has gone as planned for the former Reds striker. The Senegal international has scored 12 goals in 35 appearances but that doesn’t say it all.

Just last month, Mane was involved in an alleged falling out with teammate Leroy Sane following Bayern’s defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League. If reports are to be believed, Mané could start moving this summer.

According to Sport BILD journalist Christian Falk, Bayern are actively “looking for a buyer” for Mane this summer. There have even been rumors that Chelsea may be making a move for the former Liverpool star.

“Meanwhile, FC Bayern are looking for a buyer for Sadio Mane,” wrote Falk for Caught Offside.

“An exchange with (Victor) Osimhen would be welcome, but it’s unrealistic. Mane would earn 12 million euros net in Monaco. Napoli won’t pay them.”

“He was noticed in Munich, however, because Chelsea are said to be interested in signing Mane. Bayern would be willing to negotiate if asked.”

Says Liverpool.com: Not many would have predicted that less than a year after signing one of Liverpool’s key players, Bayern Munich would consider dropping Sadio Mane from the club. Of course, that’s all speculation at this stage, but if the 31-year-old joins Liverpool’s arch-rivals Chelsea, Anfield fans wouldn’t like it.

Tottenham and Manchester United are ‘interested’ in the strikers.

Following Sunday’s loss to Liverpool, reports emerged that Tottenham Hotspur were looking to sign a new striker.

According to French outlet L’Equipe, Spurs are interested in signing Lille striker Jonathan David. It has also been reported that Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also in the running for the Canada international.

Furthermore, it has also been suggested that Tottenham may be considering signing David to replace Harry Kane. The England international’s contract expires in 2024 and it is speculated that he could leave this summer.

David was on Liverpool’s option list when the Reds signed Diogo Jota from Wolves in 2020, alongside Ismaïla Sarr from Watford.

Liverpool.com says: Tottenham only signed a striker last summer when Richarlison secured a $75m (£60m/€68m) contract from Everton. Kane’s future will be a concern for the north London club, so it shouldn’t be a problem if they look at the striker’s alternatives if the star player leaves the club this summer or a year from now.
