Report: DFB Lures Klopp with Top Salary
The DFB is reportedly willing to stretch financially for its desired coach. The negotiations are also said to revolve around Klopp's sponsorship contracts.
It is already considered an open secret that Jürgen Klopp will succeed Julian Nagelsmann as coach of the German national team.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the 59-year-old has reportedly already agreed to join the DFB (read more here >>>).
Klopp Set for RB-Level Salary
Financially, the DFB is also expected to make concessions to Klopp. As "Absolut Fussball" and "Sports Illustrated" both report, the ex-Liverpool coach is set to receive a salary of up to ten million euros. According to "Sky", his salary as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull is in a similar range. Consequently, he would not have to make any financial cuts.
On Thursday, the DFB leadership, including Bernd Neuendorf and Hans-Joachim Watzke, will fly to New York City to negotiate over the weekend with Klopp and his agent Marc Kosicke. In addition to the salary, a resolution concerning the 59-year-old's sponsorship deals is also to be found. To what extent the DFB is willing to make concessions on this point is unclear.
