Klopp: I have final say on Liverpool transfers...unless it is Zlatan for £100m!

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed he will make the final call on any players signed by the Reds during the January transfer window.

The Merseyside club are reportedly looking to bolster their striking options, and Klopp insisted he has been given autonomy to bring any player of his choosing to Anfield, provided the terms of the deal are reasonable.

"Yes. But does anybody have the final say," Klopp said.

"For example, say I wanted to take Zlatan Ibrahimovic and we have to pay £100million plus a big contract at 35 I think I would have to ask first!

"Sometimes my staff and I have an idea about a player, then we collect information and then we have players our scouts bring in and we speak about it.

"If I don't want a player to come here then he will not come.

"If a player I want doesn't fit our budget then he will not come to.

"It's a normal situation."
