Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool’s pulling power in the transfer market will be enhanced by the sight of so many of the current crop fulfilling their potential. 

The Reds boss is keen to make an attacking signing next month as he prepares to lose Sadio Mane to the Africa Cup of Nations, but insists he’s not interested in anyone who is simply looking for a big payday. 

Klopp regards Liverpool as the “best place” for any player who is keen to develop and make the most of his talent.  The likes of Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Adam Lallana and Divock Origi have all taken their game to the next level under his guidance to help launch the Reds’ title challenge. 

“Maybe there are a few clubs in world football who can play better and if you can go there, these few clubs, yeah then do it,” Klopp said. 

“But for all the rest this should be the best place to be. 

“I would say at the moment that LFC is a really good place to be for a player to develop, to get the best out of your career and all that stuff.  That is how we live. 

“I said a few months ago, the biggest teams in the world they didn’t change a lot, they developed together, then bring him in and that in and so on and improve a little bit and then in the end you have a wonderful team.” 

Klopp says anyone motivated simply by money isn’t the kind of person he wants in the dressing room. 

“At the end the players should know they can earn really serious money here, reasonable money here, but we will not go nuts,” he added. 

“We believe that if someone needs to be convinced by money then at one point when you really need character you will not get it. 

“We want to convince them with the way we go.  We want to have players who are ready to develop and it’s not a message for the winter transfer window, it’s a message for the next few years.

“We have already really good players and if someone wants to be part, they are welcome. 

“We want to convince players about the special character of the club.  I have rose tinted glasses but I would say it is the best place for a player to develop.”
