What a player he is - Jurgen Klopp break silence over £215m Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool deal

Liverpool have been linked with the French youngster in recent months

However, speculation in recent weeks has suggest a move for the PSG forward may likely happen, fuelled by the fact that Liverpool new kit supplier Nike also have a deal with Mbappe.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is convinced Mbappe would make the difference in any club fortunate to land the 20-year-old, but insisted the big money tagged on the player is a problem his company may find difficult to handle.

When asked about signing the 20-year-old, Klopp said: "Buying this calibre of player is difficult. I don't see any club at the moment who can buy Kylian Mbappe from PSG.

"I don't see any club; that is how it is. And we are involved in the clubs that cannot do it. It is as easy as that.

"OK, from a sporting point of view, there are not a lot of reasons to not sign him. What a player he is.

"But it is about the money, of course. No chance. Absolutely no chance. Sorry for killing that story!"

While Klopp doesn't believe his side can afford Mbappe, the German thinks Liverpool's improvement in recent seasons has increased their chances of signing the best players.

"I don't think we struggle with convincing players", he added.

"When you speak to a player, you can feel it, this year, last year, even three years ago, you can see in the eyes of a player; I am not sure if honour is the right word, but that it is good that we speak to them.

"The club is in a very good position. Image-wise, it maybe always was but now I think it is easier to live the life of a Liverpool supporter and that means automatically being in a situation to sign the players you want to sign."
