Klopp about De Bruyne: "I wanted him desperately when I was at Dortmund and he was at Chelsea, but Jose didn't give him to me!"
Kevin De Bruyne last season is out for three months with a knee injury.
Jurgen Klopp, speaking to Sky Sports, feels City have more than enough options to make up for the De Bruyne's absence, and even revealed he was hopeless to sign De Bruyne while at Dortmund but was thwarted by then-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
"I love this player, I wanted him desperately when I was at Dortmund and he was at Chelsea, but Jose didn't give him to me!
"What a season he had, what a World Cup he played. I really feel for him. They have options of course, like they always have options, they brought in Riyad Mahrez, but they can all play in different positions.
"Bernardo Silva can play a bit deeper, Foden can play in positions, Gundogan can play in positions.
"Nobody needs to worry about Man City and their quality, there is still a lot there. We don't look at the other teams, we really only try to make the best of our situation, and that will hopefully work."
