"Of course we're interested in Mbappe, but we can't sign him"

Liverpool, now with two titles to their belt, have a great opportunity this Tuesday to close the gap on Premier League leaders Man City. If the Reds beat Southampton, Klopp's men will be just one point off the leaders with a game to go. 

The German coach will be without Van Dijk and Salah, two footballers who will be in the final in Paris. Klopp now also has Real Madrid on his mind and he did not hesitate in responding to a question about Kylian Mbappe, who is sought after by Madrid. 

"Of course we are interested in Mbappe, we aren't blind. But we aren't going to sign him, we cannot be part of these battles. There must be other clubs involved and that is fine. He is a great player," Klopp added.

The Liverpool boss ruled his club out of the running to get the Frenchman just when 'The Independent' announced that Reds had once again appeared on the scene to try and get hold of his signing. 

'Marca' said this Monday that Mbappe had reached an agreement with Real Madrid and ruled Madrid's Champions League final opponents Liverpool out of the race for Mbappe.
