When asked if he would be happy to bring the Argentine forward to Anfield, Klopp said:"Interest? Yeah, who doesn't want Messi in their team.A study by French newspaper L'Equipe earlier this year said Messi earns €8.2 million per month from Barcelona, way more than Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Paris St Germain striker Neymar, who earn €4.5 million and €3 million respectively.
Some of Messi's best moments on the Camp Nou pitch came under the guidance of former Barca coach Guardiola, whose City side finished 18 points behind Liverpool in a distant second place last season. "It would make it even more difficult to beat them ," Klopp told a news conference ahead of Saturday's Community Shield match between Liverpool and Arsenal at Wembley.Klopp confirmed centre back Virgil van Dijk is fit to face Arsenal after recovering from a head injury sustained during Liverpool's pre-season friendly with RB Salzburg.
"Virgil looks fine, he looks not good because he has the cut there, but apart from that it should be fine," Klopp added.
