Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed they never even considered allowing Takumi Minamino to leave the club in January amid reported Leeds United interest.
The Whites were linked with a move for Minamino towards the end of the window as they put together a shortlist of wingers in the event they had to replace Crysencio Summerville.
In the end, Summerville stayed at Leeds after failing to agree a deal with Hamburg, which meant the club’s interest in Minamino never firmed up into anything more concrete.
