(Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp had little to say on Friday when asked about media speculation that the Merseyside club had pulled out of the race to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
British media reported this week that Liverpool ended their pursuit of England international Bellingham, who had been the club's top transfer target ahead of an overhaul next season after a disappointing run this term.
"There's nothing to say about it, to be honest. If we don't speak about players we sign or do not sign, why would I talk about these kinds of speculation?" Klopp told reporters. "You have to realise what you can do and then work with it. How much money we have available and then we have to work with it... Whatever we need and want, we try everything to get it but there are moments where we have to accept and step aside."
Following their goalless draw with Chelsea and 2-2 draw with league leaders Arsenal, Klopp said his side is looking to build on the momentum as they prepare for a"big fight" against 16th-placed Leeds at Elland Road.
