Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he does not plan to venture into the transfer window unless the availability of his squad changes drastically before the end of August.
Jurgen Klopp said: “If nobody wants to leave, we are done. Or if a bad injury comes in…I don’t hope so. But Liverpool fans can start focusing on other things. Have I ever spoken in situations like this about it? You get the results – not the process!”
But even without further additions at Anfield, the Liverpool manager believes his squad will be ready to compete with the likes of Manchester City once again this season. But hasn’t ruled out the Premier League heavyweights being joined in their title pursuit by the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea.
Jurgen Klopp said: “I cannot say that anyone has made a massive mistake so far in the transfer market, I haven’t sat at home and thought ‘thank god they took him. It was clear beforehand that Tottenham are going in the right direction, it was clear, you could see that last year – the signings made absolute sense. [Manchester] City didn’t only bring in players, they gave two to Arsenal, and one to Chelsea. We are in a similar situation, we just can’t always go again with the same team and try to do this kind of thing – we need a bit of fresh blood, fresh legs. So City is in a similar situation to us and in the end [they] will have fantastic football players, as we have, and it’s a question of who makes the most of it. Everybody has the same chance. It will be interesting for supporters, we will give it our all.”
Klopp’s men take on Manchester City ahead of the new season in next week’s Community Shield at the King Power Stadium, before getting their Premier League season underway with a trip to Fulham on August 6.
