Klopp reveals summer transfer talks are underway
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Liverpool are already in talks to sign potential summer transfer targets.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Klopp admitted talks are underway as they look to build upon a potential top six finish this season.
We are in talks with different people – players, agents, all that stuff. Not a lot of decisions have been already made at this point. Why should they at this stage? But we are on the way. At the end I’m sure we will have a really good squad. We already have a good squad and a few more good players will make it even better. There’s a good base.
The Reds face the prospect of either Champions League or Europa League football next season and will want to add depth as well as quality to their squad.
Klopp admits that the club will be forced to do more business if they finish inside the top four this season.
I actually don’t think so but we will see. We don’t have to talk about the Champions League now because we are not even qualified.
But of course if we are in the Champions League then it would have an influence. We would need a deeper squad and you have to be prepared for that. No question.
Even with the league this season, we could have needed a deeper squad with the injuries we had. But we’re through that now. We will adapt our plans to the number of tournaments we play next year.
Liverpool are currently fifth in the Premier League table, one point behind Arsenal in fourth.
With 13 games remaining in the season, there is still plenty of football to be played for, with the race for Champions League football heating up towards the end of the campaign.
The Reds didn’t make any signings in January so they’ll have money to spend in the summer.
