‘If he stays long term I’m sure he’ll win another Premier League title’: Liverpool legend John Barnes confident Jurgen Klopp can bring more glory to struggling Liverpool
- Liverpool have experienced a dramatic decline from the form of last season
- The reigning champions sit 28 points adrift of league leaders Manchester City
- Manager Jurgen Klopp still has more than three years remaining on his contract
- John Barnes believes more trophies are to come if he does fulfill them
John Barnes has backed Jurgen Klopp to guide Liverpool to another Premier League while dismissing the possibility of him taking the Germany job.
The Reds have experienced a dramatic decline this season after campaigns which saw them lift the Premier League and Champions League.
Klopp still has three years left on his contract after this one but there has been some speculation about a possible departure.
John Barnes has backed Jurgen Klopp to guide Liverpool to another Premier League title
Former Reds winger Barnes, speaking in association with BonusCodeBets, told Goal: ‘If Jurgen Klopp stays at Liverpool long term, then I’m sure he’ll win another Premier League title with Liverpool.
‘If he’s still there next season, he will definitely be challenging with Manchester City.
‘His contract runs until 2024, so we still have three more years of Klopp in the Premier League for him to have the chance of winning another Premier League title for Liverpool.’

‘Maybe it will happen at the end of his contract or maybe at the end of next season, but what’s for sure is Klopp will not want to leave Liverpool under these circumstances.
‘Even if next season the team puts up a better challenge and don’t win anything, I don’t think that he feels that, as things aren’t going well, he has to leave the club.
‘The manager will feel like he has unfinished business, even if he wanted to leave because you wouldn’t want to go under these circumstances.’
