Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has again reiterated the club's stance
on Barcelona's pursuit of its midfielder Phillipe Coutinho. A bid of
£90m was rejected by the Merseysiders on Wednesday.
The 50 year old speaking to Sky Germany, reasserted that, the
Brazilian is not for sale and that no amount is good enough to get
him.
And that every transfer is about timing and the opportunity to react
in the transfer market.
"Liverpool is not a club that has to sell players," he said
"That is set in stone, so what they pay in the end doesn't matter.
"From a financial standpoint, there is no price limit to let him go.
No price at which we are ready to give in.
"Our goal is to have the best possible team. So we want to keep our
guys and add new ones. That is our plan.
"Today, no player on the planet is untouchable. But a transfer is also
a question of timing, and if you have the opportunity and the need to
react to such a transfer.
"Also you have to ask if you have the time to react. But just because
of one request of one club, we don't have to think about that. We are
not in that situation."
Liverpool open their league campaign against Watford this weekend.
