JURGEN KLOPP has reportedly been identified as the man to heal Barcelona’s open wounds.
Barca are engaged in civil war as the future of under-fire manager Ronald Koeman threatens to tear the club apart.
The Dutchman has been told he has to win his next three games to save his job as the club sits in a pitiful ninth in LaLiga.
A mob of furious fans even targeted the 58-year-old as he left the Nou Camp following the hosts’ 2-1 Clasico defeat by Real Madrid.
Sport now reports club officials have eyed Liverpool boss Klopp as the man to steady the ship.
The German is under contract at Anfield until 2024 but Barca believe they may be able to tempt him to Catalonia before then.
But with the good times rolling on Merseyside once again, the 54-year-old is understood to be reluctant to leave before his contract is up.
Fellow German and Chelsea gaffer Thomas Tuchel is another name reportedly on the Barca hierarchy’s list.

He too would prove difficult to tempt to Spain, given his Blues are reigning European champions and have a tilt at this season’s Premier League.
Barca find themselves in disarray after losing talisman Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain due to financial turmoil at the club.
The Argentinian superstar bade farewell to his adoring fans in an emotional press conference before leaving for the Ligue 1 giants.
One former Messi team-mate is also on the club’s managerial shortlist – Xavi is reportedly considered as a fan-favourite option.
