Jurgen Klopp's Response To Philippe Coutinho 'Nike Leak' Question Is Superb

Jurgen Klopp has given a typically Jurgen Klopp answer to a question about Nike mistakenly leaking an advert about Philippe Coutinho becoming a Barcelona player.

With the January transfer window just around the corner, the Coutinho to Barca stories resurfaced - kickstarted by fans noticing that Barca sponsors Nike had created an ad promoting the Brazilian being in their colours.

That ad has since been removed from all versions of Nike's website, but the stories about Coutinho moving to the La Liga giants remain.

And they were only fuelled earlier today when he was left out of the Liverpool squad for the trip to Burnley in the English Premier League.

Mohamed Salah also missed out, with both players nursing injuries and therefore left out by Klopp.

But the German manager was still asked about his star player's future and didn't appear to care about the Nike story when it was brought up after the game:

Typical Klopp answer there.

Liverpool are next in action against Everton in the FA Cup on Friday night and they'll be hoping Coutinho is fit for that and the transfer talk has subsided.

The Reds coped without him today though, winning 2-1 against a stubborn Burnley thanks to Ragnar Klavan's injury-time winner

Thoughts on the Coutinho situation?
