Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp responds to Kylian Mbappe and Jadon Sancho transfer links

David Lynch5 May 2020

Jurgen Klopp has insisted he is ‘completely happy’ with the attacking options he has at his disposal at Liverpool.

But the German offered up a cryptic declaration of ‘we will see’ when asked if he might look to bring even more star quality to Anfield in the future.

Speaking to beIN Sports via video conference, Klopp was asked who he would prefer to manage out of the prolific trio of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Kylian Mbappe.

The Reds boss was adamant, however, that he does not currently covet other teams’ players, with his focus fully on the fine squad he has already assembled.

"Sadio Mane is young enough and Mo Salah is young enough to be in that group for the next few years," he said.

“I am completely happy with the boys that I have, but I never thought about the others.

“When I am at a club then I work with the players I have, I don’t dream about other players.

“If we can get one of them in the future, we will see, but we will make the best of the situation we have.”

Might that stance change in the coming years, though?

Liverpool have previously been linked with a high-profile swoop for PSG striker Mbappe, as well as Borussia Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho.

On that speculation, Klopp added: “Look, I cannot answer those kinds of questions without creating headlines the next day, I know that's what I don't want to do.

"I love them all and there's a few more players out there. They are all exceptional players.

"The players they are now because of their own attitude, because of their skills and all that stuff.

"I love watching them but I have no problem that I never trained one of them.”
