Jurgen Klopp is open to the idea of signing Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona, according to El Desmarque.
The £67.5 million-rated Frenchman has struggled to reach his potential at the Nou Camp since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Dembele in the past, but he has stayed put in Spain.
This latest report claims that Barca want £85 million for the winger, with Klopp viewing him as competition for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

I believe this is a move that simply won’t happen, especially while Salah, Mane and Firmino are all at Liverpool.
Due to the trio’s vast influence, Dembele would likely spend much of his time on the substitutes’ bench, risking an unhappy player.
The 22-year-old’s attitude has been questioned in the past and the last thing Klopp needs is a wonderful team spirit being affected.
On the face of it, I feel as if Dembele would be an exciting addition, but the fact that he has only scored once this season in La Liga and provided no assists, albeit with injury problems thrown in, speaks volumes.
