Klopp Explains Why Liverpool Sold Coutinho

Klopp Explains Why Liverpool Sold Coutinho

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has explained why the club decided to sell Philippe Coutinho to FC Barcelona in the January transfer window,.

And to be honest, it was 100 per cent clear, no chance.   "He was not ready to do that anymore. He did fantastic in the first part of the season after the things we had to deal with in the summer. He did fantastic and the team did fantastic.   "That's over now, we cannot do that anymore, so we made that decision.   "So we have to carry on. That's the situation, we are already used to it. It was pretty much a week ago."   Read: Van Dijk: Why I Chose Liverpool
