Klopp is adamant Liverpool will not be held to ransom over their potential summer transfer targets - and has no qualms instead pursuing alternative names.
the Reds boss is confident he will be able to recruit the players he wants as the recruitment team ramp up their efforts ahead of what is likely to be a busy close-season period.

We cannot buy the player, then. If they are overpriced we cannot do it.
"We will bring in players, I am pretty sure we will bring in the players we want and those who will help us. I am pretty confident of that. You never know 100% until they are signed, but that is not new that some clubs might try that (put a premium on the asking price).
Let me say it like this: you identify a position and you have not only one option in the position. That means they should all be good, to be honest really good, you might have a favourite but if the other club doesn’t want to sell or someone else will pay the price that we cannot go with it, but usually we got the players we wanted.
"The one thing is can we afford them and then they are here. I don’t think too much about that, to be honest."
