Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp concedes they cannot compete in a summer auction for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

The Reds have decided not to join the battle for Bellingham due to BVB's 150m valuation.

Asked about the decision this morning, Klopp said: "I have nothing to say on that.

It is not about Jude Bellingham, but I never understand why we talk about things we cannot have, theoretically. We cannot have six players in a summer, everyone for 100m. That is clear.

You have to realise what you can do and then work with it. That is your job.

We are not children. When you ask a five-year-old what they want for Christmas and they say, I don't know, a Ferrari, you would say that is too expensive and you cannot drive it. If this kid then was really unhappy because he didn't get a Ferrari, it would be a really sad life.

You look what you can do, and you work with that. We try everything to get what we need and what we want, but there are moments where we have to accept and step aside."
