Arsenal Reportedly to Keep Arsene Wenger, Jurgen Klopp to Barcelona Rumours Grow

Arsene Wenger is reportedly set to remain as Arsenal manager for the foreseeable future despite Wednesday's announcement of Jurgen Klopp's summer departure from Borussia Dortmund.

Wenger has two years left on his contract at the Emirates, and according to the Mirror's James Whaling, the 65-year-old will remain at Arsenal until at least 2017.

With Klopp having been previously touted as Wenger's potential successor, the news of his departure from Dortmund, as reported by BBC Sport, could have triggered the Frenchman's departure from the Gunners after 19 years at the club:

However, it seems as though Klopp will have to look elsewhere for his next job, as Wenger is set to remain in north London.

It is an unsurprising move. While Wenger has not delivered a league title since 2004, Arsenal are currently in fine form, and hopes are high for next season, per B/R UK's James McNicholas:

A second consecutive FA Cup triumph is still on the cards this season, and Wenger will surely be confident of launching a title challenge in 2015-16.

As for Klopp, his departure from Dortmund will have piqued the interest of many of Europe's top clubs, not least Manchester City, where Manuel Pellegrini is under fire after a run of poor results, per B/R UK:

However, it is reportedly La Liga giants Barcelona who have already made a move to bring Klopp to the Camp Nou, per Goal.com's Ben Hayward:

"

Més que un Klopp? Barça presidential candidates have already been in touch with the Dortmund coach about a possible move to Camp Nou.

Luis Enrique is currently nearing the end of his first season in charge at the Camp Nou, and his Barca side are still on course for the league title, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

Surely, if Enrique wins the Champions League or the league title—or both—he will remain in charge for another season.

But a Copa del Rey win only, or a complete lack of trophies, could well see him replaced by Klopp after just one season in the job.

Klopp is widely regarded as one of the best managers in Europe and is clearly eager to get straight back to work elsewhere after he departs Dortmund in the summer, per the Champions League:

There will be a small window of opportunity in which to snap Klopp up, and he will likely be approached by numerous clubs over the coming weeks and months, but it seems Barca have made the first move.
