Jurgen Klopp has spoken publicly on Philippe Coutinho's Liverpool future for the first time since the transfer window closed.

And the Reds boss has made clear the Brazilian will be welcomed back into the first-team fold at Anfield.

Barcelona failed in their attempts to sign Coutinho after Liverpool remained steadfast in their insistence the player was not for sale during the summer.

The Reds rejected three bids from the Catalans and then dismissed Barca claims they asked for 200million euros for Coutinho shortly before the Spanish transfer deadline on Friday evening.

Barcelona, having lost Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain, did succeed in taking Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund for 105m euros plus add-ons.

And Klopp, back in Germany on Saturday to coach a side in a testimonial game at Mainz for Nikolce Noveski, addressed Barcelona's pursuit of Coutinho and Dembele.

“We have our situation and Dortmund has another,” he said to German media outlet SPORT1.

“Don't believe everything in the press or that there are offers here and there and that the minute after the offer has been entered, it should already be over.

“We are not like George Orwell where everybody knows everything immediately. We have exactly the situation we wanted and no other.

“Dortmund decided the player (Dembele) would leave them, so I cannot compare the two situations.

“We still have a really good player in the squad who can play.”

Coutinho has yet to feature for Liverpool this season due to a back injury, but was fit enough to score from the bench for Brazil in their win over Ecuador on Thursday.

He is expected to feature against Colombia on Tuesday night, after which he will return to Merseyside to be assessed ahead of Saturday's visit to Manchester City.
