Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, likened the team's pursuit of Jude Bellingham to a five-year-old asking Santa for a sports vehicle.
This week, it was said that the Reds, who had made the Borussia Dortmund midfielder their top summer target, have 'cooled' their interest in him.
The team would likely recruit at least three midfielders rather than sign Bellingham and not be able to afford another midfielder of the caliber needed to compete in the Premier League, which was not warmly received by Liverpool supporters.
