Jurgen Klopp names two conditions that could see Liverpool re-enter transfer market
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy with his squad - but they could still be forced back into the transfer market
Liverpool won’t bring in any more players this summer unless they are forced to, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds have had a relatively quiet window since making the blockbuster signing of Darwin Nunez in mid-June.
And Klopp insists he’s happy to keep his squad settled, unless there are dramatic late developments.
“Unless we have injuries or player sales no, we have our squad,” Klopp said (via Sky Sports).
When asked about potential sales, he replied: “I don’t talk about these things, you know that.”
The deal that took Nunez from Benfica to Anfield could rise to a club record £85 million if certain add-ons are met, based on individual and team performances.
Liverpool have otherwise added teenagers Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay from Fulham and Aberdeen respectively.
