Jurgen Klopp has turned up the heat on Brendan Rodgers by telling friends he would be interested in managing Liverpool.
Klopp will bring the curtain down on his glittering reign at Borussia Dortmund after Saturday's German Cup Final and he is already looking for his next job.
He does not want to take a sabbatical and is attracted by Liverpool, according to reports in Germany.
Rodgers' fate as Liverpool boss will be decided when he has his post-season review with FSG's Mike Gordon next month and the Irishman presided over a hugely-disappointing campaign.
The shadow of Klopp will loom large over that review and the German exactly fits the template of coach FSG like in that he can over deliver on limited resources.

Dortmund are similar to Liverpool in that they are not their country's biggest clubs and they have passionate fans.
Klopp respects Liverpool and is intrigued by the possibility of working in the Premier League.
He speaks fluent English and at 47, is also the right age for FSG.
Former Germany and Chelsea star Michael Ballack claims Klopp would be perfectly suited to the Premier League.
"There are several indications that suggest he will coach in England at some stage," he said.
"He coached one of the best clubs in Germany. He's an open coach, who enjoys international acclaim for his successes and the way he coaches. And he speaks English."
