Jurgen Klopp has broken his silence on the transfer story every Liverpool fan has been dreaming about this summer; whether or not Jude Bellingham will be joining the club from Borussia Dortmund.
Klopp has suggested that Dortmund have never said the player is for sale, which is why the Reds haven’t made a move for him already.
Liverpool were heavily linked with midfielder Aurelian Tchouameni earlier in the window, but the player chose a move to Real Madrid over the Merseyside giants.
As a result, Jurgen Klopp has turned his attention to the talented 19-year-old Dortmund star, a worthy alternative to say the least.

“He’s not on the market, so that’s the first problem with that player,” Klopp said to members of the press in a sit-down interview at Kirkby before the squad flew to Asia.
“Well, that’s the only problem with that player!”
Klopp was then asked if he thought Liverpool would be adding a midfielder to their ranks this summer, Klopp added: “No. I can say that.”
“I don’t think something will happen in midfield, but you never know. If somebody comes to you and says ‘I want to go’, then…”
“Nobody came to me yet – but if that happens then we have to talk new.”
