No fee to Red Bull needed: Klopp to join Germany's national team until 2030

The German Football Association (DFB) appears to have cleared a major hurdle in its pursuit of Jürgen Klopp as the new national team coach. The DFB will reportedly not have to pay a significant transfer fee to Red Bull to secure Klopp's services.

According to reports, Klopp's current contract with Red Bull extends until 2029. However, the agreement allows for his departure without a hefty payout, and he is expected to continue as a company ambassador for Red Bull. This development significantly simplifies the DFB's efforts to appoint their preferred candidate.

Klopp is anticipated to sign a contract with the DFB that will cover a World Cup cycle, extending his commitment until 2030. This move signals a long-term vision for the national team under his leadership.

The article also briefly mentions that Thomas Müller's advice might not be needed for Klopp in his new role and that President Bernd Neuendorf and Vice President Hans-Joachim Watzke are involved in the process. It also notes that the information comes from Bild-Zeitung.
