| Jurgen Klopp isn't interested in raiding Borussia Dortmund for its stars |
JURGEN KLOPP has claimed he will not be raiding Borussia Dortmund to bring their star players to Liverpool.
Speculation has been rife as to who Klopp will bring in during the January transfer window to put his mark on the Reds squad.
A number of names have already been tossed around, including Swansea's Andre Ayew and on-fire Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
However, much of the focus has been on what star players the German could raid his former club for - with Marco Reus, Ilkay Gundogan and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang high on many people's wish lists.
The trio have been linked with a number of teams over the summer, including Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
But Klopp has now dashed Liverpool fans' hopes of seeing the stars at Anfield, insisting he will not be pilfering Dortmund of its top talent.
"I have no intention whatsoever to lure Dortmund's stars to Liverpool," he told German newspaper Bild.
And the Bundesliga club's chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke echoed his statement, suggesting the club's big names would be staying put.
He added: "Jurgen would never do anything that would damage BVB's interests.
"I am 100 per cent certain about that. He would never approach any players behind our back.
"We are simply too close for things like that to happen. We have been through too much together."
