Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reportedly puts pen to paper on a new contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2026.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reportedly signed a contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2026.

Reports emerged earlier on Thursday that the Liverpool hierarchy had opened talks over an extension to the 54-year-old's current deal, which was due to expire in 2024.

However, The Athletic reports that those talks have already been agreed and Klopp has put pen to paper on a new four-year deal, extending his stay at the club by at least another two years.

Klopp is the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, and the new deal would see him take his Anfield reign beyond the 10-year mark, having taken over in October 2015.

The German had previously suggested that he would leave Liverpool when his current contract was due to expire in 2024, before taking a sabbatical from football.

However, the report claims that Liverpool's success this season has convinced him to extend his stay further.

The Merseyside outfit are still in the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple this season, having already won the EFL Cup.

Liverpool are second in the Premier League table, just one point behind leaders Manchester City, and will face Chelsea in the final of the FA Cup next month.

The Reds are also on course to reach the final of the Champions League, having beaten Villarreal 2-0 in the first leg of their semi-final on Wednesday night.

Klopp has already taken Liverpool to two Champions League finals during his tenure, losing to Real Madrid in 2018 before beating Tottenham Hotspur one year later.

The German also led Liverpool to their first top-flight league title for 30 years in 2019-20, in addition to winning the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

In all, Klopp has taken charge of 373 games as Liverpool manager, winning 229 of those and losing just 60.
