City will let the 29-year-old leave after this season. Serie A side Torino are interested in a long-term deal but the lure of Champions League football is too tempting.
Hart’s England place has been threatened by the emergence of Jack Butland and Jordan Pickford.
But playing regularly in the Premier League and Europe should be enough to secure his spot as Gareth Southgate’s No 1.
Klopp has backed Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet this season, despite them both making blunders.
The German boss is also eyeing a move for Norwich’s Jacob Murphy.
The winger, 21, has been tracked by Anfield scouts and Klopp is now ready to make a £10million bid and loan him back to the Canaries for the remainder of the season.
