💰💸🤑-Klopp reveals why Liverpool have no French players on their books

The Reds boss talked about why there is no French players at Anfield
There are not any France players in Liverpool's senior squad because most of them are too expensive, according to their coach Jurgen Klopp.

The European champions have not had a French international on their books since 2017, despite Les Bleus winning the 2018 World Cup and being dominant on the world stage in recent times.

With the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba all involved in club moves or rumoured transfers over the past few seasons, Klopp revealed this calibre of French player costs too much for Liverpool to buy.

When asked why there was no France stars in his team, Klopp told Canal+: "There is no reason for it.


"Kylian plays for PSG. Griezmann wanted to go to Barcelona obviously - we know how good that team is.

"We would like to have a French player, but some of them are too expensive for us."

Mamadou Sakho was the last France international to pull on the famous red shirt, signing from PSG in 2013 and staying four seasons before departing for Crystal Palace.

Other notable French players on Liverpool's books in the 21st century include Nicolas Anelka, Djibril Cisse, David N'Gog and Aly Cissokho.

The Reds do have a France talent in their under 23's, with 18-year-old left back Yasser Larouci playing in non-competitive matches for Liverpool's first team during pre-season.

Klopp's side has streaked to 10-point lead over Leicester City at the top of the Premier League, while also holding a game in hand on Brendan Rodgers' team, who they face at Anfield on the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day.
