Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reportedly agreed a new deal which would keep him with the Premier League title contenders until 2026.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss was already tied to the club until 2024. However, according to The Athletic, the German and his "closest staff" have agreed to extend their stays at Anfield.

The news comes less than 24 hours after Klopp led his team to a first-leg victory over Villarreal in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Liverpool have already won one trophy this season and are still in contention to win an historic quadruple.

According to the Athletic's report, Mike Gordon, the president of Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group, was present at Anfield as a Pervis Estupinan own goal and a Sadio Mane effort put the Reds in control against Villarreal. Gordon was reportedly there to help get the manager's new deal wrapped up.

Klopp's agent Marc Kosicke was also present for the 2-0 victory. Klopp first took over at Liverpool in 2015, so the extension would see him bring up more than a decade at a club where he has won the Premier League and Champions League among other trophies.
