The January transfer window is fast approaching, and many Liverpool supporters are nervous beyond words. The main reason for their nervousness is the fear of losing Daniel Sturridge and many of their first-team players to lucrative transfer offers from Europe's giant clubs.
The Guardian reported the German's insistence that he will not sell any of the players he has on the first team. Klopp said: "There is absolutely no thought or idea to sell any player from the first team squad. I don't think it would make sense. Unfortunately, Daniel is not in training now and that is what I am more concerned about than any transfer rumours, but I am prepared for everything you could ask me in January."
Klopp's ultimate confidence in the unity of his side is nothing short of impressive, but the buzz surrounding his players should be nothing short of worrying for the backroom team and the supporters at the stands. For example, The Sun publishes that Barcelona could be chasing after the injured Coutinho after naming Barca's divine attacking trinity of Messi, Suarez and Neymar as the world's best.
Another persistent rumor that Klopp loves to slam down is the alleged departure of Daniel Sturridge from Anfield once January comes around. "You and your colleagues create stories and then ask me about them," he said. "I am prepared for January; it will be funny for sure."
When asked about his plans for the window, Klopp is understood to be interested in Southampton's Virgil van Djik and Sam McQueen. Goal.com is also linking the Reds to Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Christian Pulisic should Coutinho leave for Catalonia.
While the transfer window is still a month away, the transfer rumor is already turning its wheels. All we can do is wait and see if any of the rumors actually turn out to be true.
