The Wales international looks set to depart the Bernabeu after falling out of favour with boss manager Zinedine Zidane, who recently said it was "best for everyone" if Bale left.

Bale has been linked with a move to China, with his wage demands seemingly putting off Premier League and European clubs.

Despite those demands, former Liverpool and Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince suggested this week that the Anfield club should sign the multiple Champions League winner.

However responding to those comments Klopp has told Sky Sports News that he is more than happy with the players he currently has.

"Bale is a Real Madrid player and if he leaves it will be outstandingly expensive and big wages," said Klopp.

"He is an outstanding player, I like him a lot but it is not about him. You have to create a team. A team is not a collection of the best individual players, they have to work together.
