“Everyone already knows. But I don’t know what it means in terms of its money.
“I think if we all want to help him. Let’s not talk too much about money. I mean from the British point of view. Do not throw any obstacles in his development.”
The stumbling block to Liverpool’s pursuit of Bellingham is their failure to qualify for next year’s Champions League. Because the club currently ranks sixth in the Premier League They are seven points behind fourth-place Tottenham.
Klopp has previously spoken about ignoring players who see short-term gains. But admitted that participating in Europe’s top club competition always has consequences.
“It’s very important for the club. And that is our main goal now,” he added.
“It’s important, but you ask from a transfer perspective? Yes, again, generally we have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
“Will it happen this year, I don’t know, but 100 per cent we are one of the rivals in the next few years again.
“If you ask a player and he says, ‘You don’t go to the Champions League next year and I want to go to a football club that plays this year and probably not next year’ so I’m not sure I still want that.” Players to be honest.
“I understand 100 per cent, I want to be in the Champions League all the time.
“Now we have two paths still to qualify for next year’s Champions League.
“As long as this is the case I see myself as the right contender for qualifying for the Champions League, if not we can talk about that.
