Jurgen Klopp has left the door open for Liverpool to sign the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Jadon Sancho. However, he is reluctant to be drawn on the identity of transfer targets for the next window.
Several options to join Liverpool have been mooted, including Paris Saint-Germain striker Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund winger Sancho.
The German tactician told beIN Sports when asked about the speculation surrounding Liverpool: “Sadio Mane is young enough and Mo Salah is young enough to be in that group for the next few years. 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.”
Klopp added when pressed further on links to global superstars:
“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 and I love watching them but I have no problem that I never trained one of them.”
Asked whether he would like the chance to coach the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Aguero, the Reds boss said:
"Where is Neymar on that list? Where is [Robert] Lewandowski on that list? There are so many good players out there, and they are all really good. I had Lewandowski. Mbappe has the biggest future. We can speak about Jadon Sancho as well, so they’re all coming up.”
