Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have already been credited with an interest in Klopp this year and Liverpool are desperate to keep him at the club for as long as possible.
Liverpool are, however, concerned Klopp will resist attempts to sign a new contract amid fears of burnout, as the 52-year-old values health over everything.
The Reds finished last season second to Manchester City in the league with an astonishing 97 points, which would have been enough to win all but the last two Premier League campaigns.
