Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has insisted that he makes the final decision, as it concerns Liverpool transfers and that players will never be forced on him.
The German was speaking a day after former Reds boss, Brendan Rodgers, spoke about the transfer committee at Anfield and suggested he could only buy players on a pre-arranged list.
Rodgers said: “It was a group decision [on who to sign]; it was certainly not something where I would have the sole final say.
“It’s difficult because you want a player in but if the player is not on the list, you’d have to take someone.”
Klopp has however made it clear that he has complete control over transfers and says the situation is a “normal” one.
When asked if he has the final say on transfers, the former Borussia Dortmund coach said: “Yes. But does anybody have the final say?
“For example, say I wanted to take Zlatan Ibrahimovic and we have to pay £100m plus a big contract at 35, I think I would have to ask first.
“Sometimes my staff and I have an idea about a player, then we collect information and then we have players our scouts bring in and we speak about it.
“If I don’t want a player to come here then he will not come. If a player I want doesn’t fit our budget then he will not come to. It’s a normal situation.”
