Jurgen Klopp has says he was keen on signing Jadon Sancho, but the situation surrounding transfers between English clubs prevented a deal from happening.
Sancho has since left Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund.
His words, “Buying English players is a smart idea [for Bundesliga clubs] because we would never have a chance to get Sancho,” he said.
“We are not blind – we saw him, we liked him and then we think, ‘Can we get him?’ No. Because English clubs don’t sell to other English clubs.
“I don’t know exactly what the reason is for that but they don’t do it. Now, they can go to Germany which is a wonderful league.”
Klopp isn’t the only manager saying this, Arsene Wenge faced the same hurdle for the same player.
