Joe Hart not Liverpool target, says Jurgen Klopp
It was
reported on Wednesday that the Anfield club were close to a £20m deal for
the Manchester City keeper, who is currently on loan at Torino.
Hart, 30, is
expected to leave City but Klopp is content with current keepers Simon Mignolet
and Loris Karius.
"He's a
fantastic keeper, the highest quality, but it's not for us at the moment, nor
in the future," he said.
Hart told BBC Sport in March that he is "surplus to
requirements" at City and does not see himself playing for the Premier
League club again.
He moved to
Italian side Torino on a season-long loan in August after being told he was
free to leave City by manager Pep Guardiola.
"If
you're not going to win there is no point in fighting, especially someone as
powerful as that," Hart said.
Guardiola has maintained that no decision will be taken until
the end of the season.
Klopp also confirmed that midfielder Adam
Lallana should return to full training in the latter part of next week after
his thigh injury, and that forward Danny Ings is running again after a serious
knee problem.
However,
midfielder Jordan Henderson remains sidelined with a
knee injury.
"At this
moment he cannot really train. We must wait. We are in intense talks with
different medical departments," Klopp said.
"He
looks really healthy but he can't play football."
