Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is being linked with Manuel Pellegrini's job at Manchester City. Klopp announced last week he will leave BVB at the end of this season.

The Mail on Sunday says City spoke to Klopp two years ago, when they were seeking to replace Roberto Mancini. In the end they rejected his flamboyant approach in favour of Pellegrini.

With six matches left and the top-four positions still up for grabs, City are keeping their options open.

The club are not guaranteeing the manager will survive but it does not appear they have already made up their mind to sack him as they did two seasons ago with Roberto Mancini.
