Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is coy over their interest for Bayern Munich midfielder Mario Gotze.

Gotze worked with Klopp at Borussia Dortmund.

"Liverpool is great," said Klopp. "Really great, the city and the club. Another answer in general, it is easy to know I like Mario Gotze.

"It was not the best day in my life when I heard he was going to Bayern Munich. I have known him since he was 16. That is a long trip but he is still a young player. That is the only difference to all the other players around. I would never say anything about a transfer, whether we are interested or not.

"I speak about transfers when they are done and not before. We can talk two hours about Mario Gotze but it would not change a per cent whether he comes here or goes wherever."
