“It’s just not possible” – Jurgen Klopp rules out re-signing Philippe Coutinho at Liverpool

Speaking to ESPNFC, Klopp said: “I like Phil, I think he’s a fantastic footballer and all that stuff, but it would be a big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big-money signing and it’s not our year for that. “It’s just not possible. As I said, having him would make each team better – us included – but I really hope that he finds his luck at Barcelona. “Or maybe he found it there. We have contact, but not that close contact that I know exactly how he is doing. The rest is only newspaper talk and stuff like that.” Coutinho’s dream move to Barcelona hasn’t quite worked out since the Catalan club spent £142 million on him in January 2018.  The Brazilian has been in and out of the team and will now face even greater competition from new arrival Antoine Griezemann, while Barça are still working on bringing Neymar back to the club. Liverpool have barely missed Coutinho since his departure, however, with their front three of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah becoming one of the most fearsome in world football.  Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with the Brazillian, with suggestions that he could be used to help with a deal to re-sign Neymar.  NOW READ… 7 Premier League players who would benefit from going on loan this season 10 overpriced transfers that absolutely worked out 27 essential Fantasy Premier League tips from old winners and experts Manchester United have a clear message for Inter Milan about Romelu Lukaku – and may have identified his replacement Rice hails response after double emergency at Hamilton game Watford defender Ben Wilmot signs season-long loan at Swansea Middlesbrough forward Martin Braithwaite signs four-year deal at Leganes Manchester United ‘increasingly irritated’ with Sporting CP in pursuit of Bruno Fernandes 7 players Frank Lampard must still sell despite Chelsea’s transfer ban Manchester United clinch €75m deal for midfielder as Real Madrid close in on Paul Pogba 28 red hot fantasy football tips Fantasy Premier League bargains: cheap defenders and midfielders for stretched budgets 10 overpriced transfers that absolutely worked out
