Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp refused to be drawn over possible Barcelona interest in Philippe Coutinho.

When asked whether Coutinho might be sold during the transfer window, Klopp said: "All the things I could say would only create stories - you write the stories anyway.

"So I have nothing to say, that is actually how it is. It is a transfer window but that's all.

"I opened the door because I mentioned that it is a transfer window but there is nothing to say that would help me or the player or the club. That is the only thing I am interested in."

When asked if he might have to consider finding a replacement for Coutinho, Klopp said: "What ever you consider is not my cup of tea.

"Maybe 80 per cent of the cameras are only here about these answers. That is a waste of time then!"
