Jurgen Klopp doesn’t expect Lionel Messi at Anfield.

The German coach has already delivered his verdict on Lionel Messi last year when the Argentine pushed a move away from Barcelona in the summer window.

On Thursday, Barcelona announced the departure of Lionel Messi who is arguably the greatest footballer in the club’s history.

Messi couldn’t extend his contract due to La Liga restrictions.

Last year Jurgen Klopp said that Liverpool doesn’t have the financial power to sanction a move for the six-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Klopp said: “Interest? Who doesn’t want to have Messi in their team? But no chance. The numbers are absolutely not for us. But good player, to be honest!”

“It will obviously help Manchester City [if he signed for them] and make it more difficult to beat them.

“For the Premier League, it would be great, 100 per cent, to have the best player in the world.

“That would help, but I am not sure the Premier League needs that boost. But it would be a boost for sure. It would be interesting as well to see.

“He has never played in another league other than in Spain. Football is different here. I would like to see it but I am not sure that I will.”
