"Bayern are like the Chinese in industry – they look at what others are doing, copy it, then make more money the same way."As you may know, Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski left BVB for their fierce rivals during Klopp's tenure at the club. He has a history with Bayern. This being said, former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has tipped the Liverpool manager to join the club at some point. "Jurgen Klopp will always be a candidate for the Bayern job. He knows the Bundesliga, he won the league and also the German Cup. I think and expect him to be the FC Bayern coach one day."
When this idea of Klopp taking over at the Allianz Arena was pitched to Paul Merson, the Sky Sports pundit declared, "I wouldn't leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich."
The former Arsenal man added that Bayern are a "million miles away from winning the Champions League" and that they're getting on a bit. Merson commented:
"If Liverpool can sort out their defence they will be big players in this league. That Bayern Munich team is ageing. It is a million miles away from winning the Champions League now. They might win the German league but I wouldn't leave Liverpool for that."A reminder that Bayern - just like Liverpool - have a glittering history. The Bavarians have won: 27 league titles, 18 DFB-Pokal Cups, 5 Champions League crowns, the UEFA/Europa League and countless other trophies. Bayern's squad currently contains some of the world's best players and the likes of Thiago (26), Süle (22), Kimmich (22), Alaba (25) and Coman (21) are only going to get better. Even their more experienced players, like Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer, Javi Martinez, Jerome Boateng and Arturo Vidal are only near-or-around 30. Despite the defeat to PSG, Bayern Munich is a massive club. Plenty of people were quick to remind Merson of that. https://twitter.com/ChrisPJGodfrey/status/914089155587706890 https://twitter.com/ConorPacKelly/status/914088723775737856 https://twitter.com/SachinNakrani/status/914088543265411072 https://twitter.com/rtisantraveller/status/914088556322320384 https://twitter.com/sergilogy/status/914089418763448320 https://twitter.com/natjefferson88/status/914088272103649281 https://twitter.com/chris_wilkin/status/914091925568925696 https://twitter.com/TheOgdogg/status/914088222849994753
