Liverpool deny Insigne links

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has denied reports linking his side with Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne, even if he is ‘a very good player’.

Corriere dello Sport claimed earlier in the week that Liverpool were among the clubs leading the race to sign Insigne in the summer after Napoli had decided to sell their captain.

Corriere dello Sport claimed earlier in the week that Liverpool were among the clubs leading the race to sign Insigne in the summer after Napoli had decided to sell their captain.

However, Klopp said at a Press conference: “We will not sign Lorenzo Insigne.

“He is a very good player but he has a long-term contract at Napoli. We will not even try it.”

Some journalists close to the Reds found the German’s remark unusual, given he does not normally address transfer rumours.
