Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been talking about Philippe Coutinho and says his team could not afford to bring the Brazilian back to Anfield.
Coutinho sealed a loan switch to Bayern Munich on Monday after a tough spell at Barcelona, and Klopp says it’s a good move for the player and the coub.
“It sounds a bit strange, but we could not afford it [to sign Coutinho], we have already spent the cash that we got for him,” he said.
“We were reluctant to hand him over, but Barcelona forced us with money, so to speak.
