Klopp will allow players to leave if they want

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says no-one is “unsellable” and he will not stand in anyone’s way should they feel a desire to exit the club. With a number of players shining at the Anfield club so far this season, particularly Brazilian international Phillipe Coutinho, it could be a matter of time before some of the big guns come knocking. Asked whether he would be willing to let go of the stars in his squad such as Phil Coutinho, Klopp says he would rather sell than deal with unsettled players for an entire season.

“Everything is okay at the moment but nobody in the world – maybe only Lionel Messi – is unsellable,” Klopp told reporters.

“There is always a situation. I come from a club where the best players are always picked by other teams and in the end you have to accept a few things. You always need to have a Plan B or a Plan C.

“If a player comes to me and says he doesn’t feel comfortable and wants to leave because of our style of play or because he can make more money elsewhere, then you always have to start thinking. That’s all I can say on this.

“Coutinho, (Roberto) Firmino, so many players are very special. You could go through the whole squad. But if a player wants to go to another club then I’d always be open to it because I don’t want to have a player in my squad who doesn’t want to be in the squad.

“These are problems you don’t need during a season. A player is never good enough for you to have to cope with problems like that for an entire year.” -THE STAR
