London (AFP) – Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool’s run to the Champions League final will encourage the club’s transfer targets to sign for the Reds ahead of the new season.
The Liverpool manager is confident that, with his side facing Real Madrid in the showpiece match in Kiev and also on the cusp of securing a Champions League place next season via a top-four Premier League finish, the Merseysiders have both the financial muscle and the football appeal to attract top players.
Liverpool would earn as much as £69 million ($93 million, 78 million euros) if they beat a Real side who are bidding to become the first club since Bayern Munich in the mid-1970s to win three successive European Cups.
“The obvious reasons are there is a financial thing but we are strong enough for that competition and we will be next year strong enough,” said Klopp.
“It is the biggest club competition and we want to be part of it, that is why we do it. We want to be as successful as possible.
“At the moment, the players we talk to, no-one said, ‘If you don’t do it in the end then it was all for nothing what we did in holding talks’.
