Jurgen Klopp wants to ascertain his chances of landing the Bayern Munich job before considering a switch to England.

The German is currently out of work after leaving a hugely successful spell at Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season.

Despite his disappointing final campaign, Klopp's stock remains high.

The 48-year-old said last season that he is open to a England move, alerting Premier League clubs in doing so.

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann says Klopp would be a perfect fit for Anfield, with Brendan Rodgers' job under scrutiny following a mediocre start to the season.

But it is understood Klopp is keen to discover where he stands in Bayern's list of potential replacements for Pep Guardiola before making a decision on his future. 

Guardiola's long-term future is unclear with his contract due to expire at the end of the season.

Managing Bayern remains the top club job in Germany; and Klopp is interested in replacing the Spaniard if the role is vacated.

Speaking on his future earlier this month however, Klopp remained coy as to where his next destination would be - indicating that it may not be at a so-called 'top club'.

'It doesn't have to be an absolute top club. There are other good projects that are exciting, [teams] who need help,' he told Bild.

'I inform, read and meet a lot of people - there are ordinary little things that are great fun. I miss nothing [from football] currently.

'I don't know where I'll be heading to,' he continued. 'But right now, that's not important for me.

'I know that if I will have the right feeling it will be a wonderful next chapter. You will see what happens and I find it exciting right now not knowing what will happen next.'
