Klopp admitted that things are ‘ongoing’ with Fabinho but would not offer any further information until the deal is confirmed.
Speaking to the media ahead of tomorrow’s friendly against Leicester City, Klopp said: “That's not done yet. He's not here, it obviously shows that things are ongoing but as far as I know, it's not finalised so I will not really speak about it because we all have to get used to these kind of things now.
“Timings are not exactly like they used to in the moment or so far, so that's why it's better if you wait before things happen before you speak about it.”
