Klopp unsure over Liverpool's transfer funds

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted the coronavirus pandemic has made signing players a lot more complicated. 

"Now, in corona times, you have to think five times before making a transfer because nobody knows what will happen after corona," Klopp told Servus TV. 

"We always have to pay attention to the financial aspect. Because we don't know exactly how much money we will have available. Others seem to deal with it a little more positively when you look at Chelsea.

"There are a lot of interesting players out there but if someone is interesting for us I can't say right now. But I am very happy with my team right now. If something transfer related will happen we have to see."

Messi's future tied to Suarez's

The agent of Luis Suarez believes that both the Uruguay striker and Lionel Messi will take each other's opinions into account when deciding life after Barcelona. 

Messi and Suarez have struck up a strong friendship since the latter's arrival at Camp Nou in 2014, initially forming two-thirds of the club's famed MSN attacking line-up with Neymar prior to the Brazilian's departure to Paris Saint-Germain.

As well as enjoying huge success on the pitch the pair and their families often holiday together, while new Barca coach Ronald Koeman's decision to cut the Uruguayan from his plans allegedly weighed in Messi's subsequent request to leave the Catalan club after 20 years. 

Thiago Silva says farewell to PSG ahead of Chelsea move

Thiago Silva took to social media on Wednesday to bid farewell to the Paris Saint-Germain faithful ahead of his anticipated move to Chelsea. 

Silva joined PSG in 2012 from AC Milan and went on to lead the French side to seven Ligue 1 titles in eight seasons, part of a total haul of 23 trophies during his time at Parc des Princes. 

But the Brazil defender was not offered a fresh contract at the end of his current deal, instead signing a temporary extension which came to an end with PSG's defeat to Bayern Munich in Sunday's Champions League final, the first in the club's history.
