As Jurgen Klopp leaves Merseyside this summer, former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson thinks he’s going to Mallorca. Last week, the Liverpool manager shocked the football world by announcing that he has decided to resign from his position at the conclusion of the season, citing a lack of energy. Lawrenson has disclosed that Klopp and his spouse Ulla have been occupied with the renovation of a mansion located on the Spanish island of Mallorca. These remarks imply that the German manager won’t be seeking a way back into management anytime soon.

As a player at Anfield, Lawrenson won five league titles and a European Cup. He revealed a small detail to Ireland’s Newstalk radio, saying, “I’m not sure I should tell you this, but it’s not a massive sеcrеt.” He is building a home on Mallorca. He’s building his house not far from mine, so I asked him how the house was progressing when I saw him after a game the other month. Ulla, his spouse, is in control of everything. ‘The bloody thing’s not even ready yet,’ he cursed. And I’m covering every expense! I would thus guess that he will withdrаw there for a while. It’s a really fantastic gaff, not just a beautiful one. It’s extraordinary.”

According to The Daily Mail, the “gaff” in question is a 5,000-square-meter villa that the Klopps paid €4 million (£3.4 million/$4.3 million) for in the summer of 2022. According to reports, a significant repair was done on the property to make the villa more energy-efficient. The firm that created Mallorca’s five-star Son Buyola Ho is in charge of maintaining the landscaping of the surrounding gardens.

There’ll be plenty of company for the Klopps in Mallorca. Germans love the Balearic island so much that they refer to it as Germany’s 17th state in jest, both as a place to reside and as a travel destination. In 2023, an astounding 4.5 million Germans made visits to the island.
