Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has outlined his summer transfer plans, and it seems as though a shopping spree may in fact not be on the cards.
Two consecutive years of incredibly successful recruitment has catapulted the Reds into Premier League and Champions League contention, and the German tactician is now ready to focus on development.
Quoted by the official club website, Klopp said:
For sure there’s no need for that level,
I don’t want to talk exactly what we will do, but I don’t think this is a team at the moment where we have to spend the big money or whatever.

That was maybe the main problem of Liverpool for the last decade. When they had a good team after a season they went all over the world. That will not happen this year for sure.
Having spent just shy of £375 million since the arrival of Klopp, it may be understandable that the recruitment has to slow up at some point, especially when considering the manager’s long history of player development.
Liverpool fans may be somewhat more concerned, however, with the club tenuously linked to Timo Werner and Matthijs de Ligt.
