Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said there was no point in talking about things he could not have when asked about the club's decision to pull out of the running to sign England midfielder Jude Bellingham.Liverpool have long been linked with the Borussia Dortmund teenager, seen as one of the brightest young talents on the planet, and had reportedly laid extensive groundwork in a bid to bring the 19-year-old to Anfield this summer.But with the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid also interested in a move, the total price of the package now appears to be beyond Liverpool’s reach, forcing Klopp to look elsewhere in his midfield rebuild."I have nothing to say on that," Klopp said in a press conference on Friday. "We don’t speak about players we sign or do not sign, so we don’t now speak about this kind of speculation.
There is nothing to say about it."It is not about Jude Bellingham, my answer now, but I never understood why we talk about things we theoretically cannot have.
We cannot have six players in a summer, everyone for £100million. Everyone would say that is clear."You have to realise what you can do and then work with it.
That is your job. We are not children. When you ask a five-year-old what they want for Christmas and they tell you, I don’t know, a Ferrari, you wouldn’t say that’s a good idea, you would say that is too expensive and anyway you cannot drive it."If this kid then was really unhappy because he didn’t get a Ferrari, it would be a really sad life."You look what you can do, and you work with that.
