We wanted Sancho, says Liverpool boss

JURGEN KLOPP has revealed Liverpool were interested in signing Jadon Sancho but were frustrated because top Premier League clubs are unwilling to do business with each other. The 18-year-old left Manchester City in August 2017 and has become one of the hottest talents in Europe since Borussia Dortmund signed him for £8million. If the Germans ever decide to sell him, he will almost certainly cost more than £100m. ‘Buying English players is a smart idea because we would never have a chance to get Sancho,’ said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. ‘We are not blind. We saw him, we liked him and then we thought, “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.’
