Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will target Christian Pulisic if Barcelona land star man Philippe Coutinho
Borussia Dortmund youngster is set to become a global superstar in the future
JURGEN KLOPP will step up his pursuit of Christian Pulisic if Barcelona win their tug of war over Philippe Coutinho.
The Liverpool boss is doing everything possible to keep the Brazilian — despite the Spanish giants being ready to pay more than £80million.
Klopp thinks Borussia Dortmund forward Pulisic, 18, will be a global star.
However, the German side are keen to rebuff his bid for their America international.
But Liverpool could try again with a bid of more than £30million for Pulisic if they lose Coutinho and need a creator for the new season.
Klopp has been forced to turn his attentions elsewhere having failed to land RB Leipzig's Naby Keita.
The Reds were hoping to break a club-record to land the Guinea international in a £70million deal.
But the Bundesliga are standing firm in their stance of not cashing in on the midfield enforcer.
