Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reveals Reds’ ace Philippe Coutinho will be welcomed back into fold after Barcelona transfer saga
The Reds rejected three bids for the Brazil international from Barcelona over the summer
JURGEN KLOPP has spoken publicly about Philippe Coutinho's Liverpool future for the first time since the transfer window closed.
The Reds rejected a spate of bids from the Spanish giants, with the highest being around £138million.
Klopp revealed he is prepared to welcome the Brazilian, who handed in a transfer request, back into the Liverpool fold.
"We have our situation and Dortmund has another," the Liverpool boss told German media outlet SPORT1, when asked about Barcelona's failed pursuit of Coutinho.
“Don't believe everything in the press or that there are offers here and there and that the minute after the offer has been entered, it should already be over.
“We are not like George Orwell where everybody knows everything immediately.
"We have exactly the situation we wanted and no other.
“Dortmund decided the player [Dembele] would leave them, so I cannot compare the two situations.
“We still have a really good player in the squad who can play.”
