This week, Barcelona finally signed Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool for a club record fee of £142 million.

Coutinho moved to the Catalan giants last week for a fee of £106m, plus a further £36m in variables, as the Brazilian global secured his long awaited move to the Camp Nou.

Liverpool had resisted three offers from Barcelona in the summer, with the 25-year-old eventually returning to the squad after missing the entire month of August as he attempted to push through a move to Spain.

"I'm a player for this club and I've always said that only the best can play for this club", he told Spanish radio Onda Cero.

"If someone is angry or disappointed it could be the manager but I'm not".

"We hoped he wanted to stay but also understand why he wanted to go".

"This was his dream".

"The final decision, if I would have said "no way", the club would have said: "okay, let's try", explained Klopp. In the short history he was here, Phil was a big character around the place, a fan favorite and rightly so.

"We have just brought in Virgil and what an awesome addition he has been. That's easy because we still have fantastic players here and if we have difficulties in the next few games, we don't have them because Phil is not here anymore - we have them because we have difficulties, that's all".

"I don't know if you can compare - we lost plenty at Dortmund!" You always have to react. It is all about the atmosphere in the club.

Klopp stressed that if the club do any business "we want right before expensive". We still gave them a chance to come back. "We have our eyes open in this window but we won't do insane things", he said.

'We don't have to replace him.

"When Phil wasn't in the team we still played great football and we have still awesome players who can score goals - the likes of Mo [Salah], Sadio, Roberto".

"We only have to carry on".

The reverse fixture went badly for Liverpool at the Etihad in September but they could have been two up in the first 20 minutes of that game and had Sadio Mane sent-off before City cut loose and beat them 5-0.

"What I like about him is that he is not bothered about coming to get the ball".

"He's doing fantastically well".

"In a football way we should look to clarify something (after the 5-0 defeat)".

"There were some hard games for them but they still scored and killed the game. It's Anfield, I'm really looking forward to it".

Wijnaldum accepts had the situation been reversed Pep Guardiola's runaway league leaders would have left no room for doubt and that is why they are 15 points clear of Manchester United, who face Stoke on Monday, and Liverpool, in third on goal difference only.

"He's not a manager to say 'Phil's away so you have to step up and do this or that'".

"You lose the grip".
