JURGEN KLOPP could retire to his £3.4million Majorca mansion once he quits Liverpool.
The Reds boss announced he is stepping down at the end of the season following eight-and-a-half years at Anfield last week.

He said that his forthcoming resignation was primarily due to a lack of energy and that he would never be able to manage in England again.
The 56-year-old Klopp has been silent about his future plans, although it’s possible that he may spend it in Majorca.
The German owns a property in the Balearics worth £3.4m which he is renovating to create an “ecological family paradise”.
Klopp bought the 5,000 square metre property in 2022 from artist Rolf Knie.
But he and wife Ulla have decided to transform the villa into a low-energy house with interconnected heating and air conditioning systems.
The Klopps have also hired the services of a landscaping company that designed the garden of Richard Branson’s ‘Son Bunyola’ hotel.
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson, who owns a property nearby, believes Klopp is planning to spend some of his sabbatical in his Majorca home.
Lawrenson told Off the Ball: “I’m not sure I should tell you this but it’s not a massive secret. He’s having a house built in Majorca.

“I have a house somewhere not far away from where he’s building his. Ulla, his wife, is in charge of everything in terms of that, and he [Klopp] said: ‘The bloody thing’s not even ready yet, and I’m paying all the bills!’
“So he’s probably going to retreat to there for a while, I would suggest.
“I can tell you now, it’s not a nice gaff, it’s an absolutely fabulous gaff. It’s sensational, it really seriously is.”
The property will be renovated over the next few months
In April of last year, Klopp was asked to choose which Spanish team he would like to lead. And the coach wanted to honour the island he loves so much. He has been there every summer since he stayed at the Son Vida hotel with Borussia Dortmund in 2010.
“That Barcelona, Madrid, and Atlético are three great clubs,” he said.
“I could fit in with any of them, but I do not have much time and my Spanish is awful. It could be at Real Mallorca.
“At least to live would be nice,” he said with a smile.
