Jurgen Klopp has laughed off a suggestion Liverpool could sign Lionel Messi – but would like to see him in the Premier League.
Messi has rocked the footballing world by handing in a transfer request at Barcelona, sparking huge speculation over his future.
Klopp says he would happily take the six-time world player of the year, but concedes the Premier League champions are simply not in the market for the 33-year-old.
“I’m not sure the Premier League needs a boost but it would be a boost, for sure.
“It would be interesting to see as well. Messi never played in another league, other than Spain.
“Actually, I would like to see it – but I’m not sure I will.”
