Klopp fights back over Barcelona signing Coutinho comments
Coutinho has handed in a transfer request to force a move to the La Liga giants who are looking at both the Brazil international and Borussia Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele as a replacement for Neymar – who left to Paris Saint-German for £200m
But an unhappy Klopp has fought back, saying, “I don’t know why other people are saying what they’re saying. I don’t even know him. I have never met him.
“We have already said what we have to say. No news from me. Nobody told me anything different since we spoke last time.
“Since he had a back problem he is not in training. I have nothing bad to say about this.
“We are not silly, we know it is a very difficult situation - but there’s nothing new to say.
“It’s not always easy for me to say the 100 per cent truth, even if I don’t like to lie. But this time this is the situation.”
