Speaking about the matter from Hong Kong, Jürgen Klopp confirmed that the player is not for sale.
"Yes [he is not for sale], but that's not since this morning or yesterday, it's not been any different. Phil is a very important player for us.

"We believe in working together and developing together. We want to make the next step together and for this we need to stay together."Explore more on these topics:
