Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has performed a u-turn on his criticism of transfer spending.

The German coach has stated publicly that he was wrong to criticize 100 million signings several years ago.

Klopp said the day that this is football, I'm not in a job anymore, because the game is about playing together" when Manchester United signed Paul Pogba for a then British record fee.

As his club seeks to shatter the record for Moises Caicedo, Klopp said to reporters: Everything changes. Do I like it? No. But did I realize 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 up my quotes from five or six years ago, I have no problem."
