Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic admitted he knew about interest in him during the most recent transfer window but did not let it affect his game.

The Liverpool Echo reports that the Reds still retain an interest in the teenager after having a bid in the region of £11 million rejected by the Bundesliga side, but the Reds are likely to revisit their interest in the United States international next summer.

Pulisic told ESPN: “I hear about it. I have social media. Obviously I’m not completely closed to the world. But I don’t let it affect me or how I’m playing at the time. The whole time throughout, I was just focused on training every day.”

There is certainly no sign of the player being affected by any of the interest that has come his way and he does not indicate any kind of desire for a move in the near future.

It is clear that Pulisic is highly rated, having been part of the national side for the Copa America tournament this summer. While his first-team opportunities at Signal Iduna Park may be somewhat limited this term, he appears to be a player who is highly thought of both at his club and his country, as well as elsewhere.

At the moment, it is a case of wait and see what comes of the player’s future, as it is pretty clear Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is an admirer of the player. For now, all parties will get on with doing the best they can at their respective clubs.
