Jürgen Klopp can approach the subject of the next summer transfer window with a certain distance.
The German coach announced at the end of January that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, after nine years of loyal service.
Which gave Sky Germany journalists plenty of time to question him about a possible move to the Reds by Kylian Mbappé, now leaving Paris Saint-Germain.

“We laugh about it,” Klopp smiled when the Mbappé soap opera was mentioned.
I can say that he is a very good player, but the financial conditions linked to his arrival do not suit us at all.
I wouldn't want to spoil the story right now... But as far as I know, there's nothing.
» In the past, the technician had nevertheless been very quick to court the Frenchman, not always indifferent... Which had made Liverpool the second natural candidate to enlist him in the event of his departure from PSG.
“It’s possible that someone at the club is planning something and wants to surprise me,” Klopp continued.
But that didn't happen during my eight years at the club.
This would be a first.
» If Klopp is telling the truth, the hypothesis sending Mbappé to Real Madrid is more credible than ever.
According to our information, the French football star made a decision anyway and chose to join the biggest club in the world with which he is negotiating.
