Your support makes all the difference.Jurgen Klopp has urged caution over Liverpool’s move for Moises Caicedo after agreeing a British record deal worth a reported £110 million.
Chelsea had led the race to sign the Brighton star, but the Reds moved quickly on Wednesday in a bid to bolster their midfield.
Klopp admits Jordan Henderson and Fabinho’s departures changed the landscape of the transfer window at Anfield, leaving them in a position to push for the Ecuadorian.
Klopp said: “I can confirm the deal that the club has agreed, I don’t know what it means exactly, the player and agreement we will see.
“What changes is we have not endless resources, we didn’t expect a couple of things happening, Hendo, Fab and then it happened and we give it a go and the club was really stretched. We will see in the end.
“I have told you what I know. Besides that we cannot share, don’t praise the day before the night. Let’s see what happens.”
Klopp once said he had no interest in spending £100 million on a player and accepted that things change.
The German added: "Everything changes. Do I like it? No But did I realise I was wrong? Definitely. It is not great but it is the way it goes.
“It will not change around again. Saudi Arabia will not help. We as a club have to try and make sure with our resources we get the best possible team together. We really try everything to bring together the best team or squad for us.
“That is the idea and we are not in dreamland and it is not we can just point at players and bring them in. There is a lot of work to do. Sometimes one door closes and the other opens up. If people want to throw my quotes from five or six years ago, absolutely no problem."
