Asked how Liverpool can react ahead of the clubs’ meeting this Sunday, Klopp said: “Oh, you won’t like the answer, and you all have the answer already. Nobody can compete with City in that.
"You have the best team in the world and you put in the best striker on the market. No matter what it costs you just do it. I know City will not like it. Nobody will like it. You've asked the question, but you know the answer.
"What does Liverpool do? We cannot act like them. It is not possible. Not possible. It is just clear and again you know the answer.
There are three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially. It's legal and everything. Fine. But they can do what they want. They will say 'yeah but we have...' but it's exactly the fact. We can look at it [and say], 'We need that and we need that and we have to look here and make it younger, and here a prospect and here a talent and that is what we have to do'.
"You have to compete with them. It is not a problem at all for me, it's like it is. Don't ask me that question because you always open this discussion and it's me telling you. But you all know it, you should know. It is not possible to deal with that and it will be like this.”
