Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has voiced his contentment with the club’s summer transfer window activities up to this point.
The Reds faced significant departures with six senior players leaving earlier in the window, including notable names like Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho. However, Liverpool have successfully acquired three new talents in the form of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo.
Furthermore, Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is poised to become Liverpool’s fourth summer signing. An agreement has been reached between Liverpool and Bayern for the 21-year-old Dutchman, with the transfer valued at £34.3 million (€40 million).
“We pretty much have to reinvent the team. The midfield is now already and will be completely new. Over the last few years we had to do the same with our front line. The most stable area is obviously the last line but now not because of the injuries and the suspensions,” Klopp said.
“And we had to do that in a season where we didn’t qualify for the Champions League, which has a massive impact, that’s how it is. I know people expected it to be different but it’s how it is. So I really think we did good business.
“The players we brought in are really good, will help the team, will even get better. And I think especially for Macca and Dom, everybody could see that already. For Endo, it’s a massive step, a massive change in the way he used to play and the way we play, so that obviously needs a bit of time to get there but it’s no problem. And so, I really like the team.
“When I look at it before we start the game and you look at the line-up and, yes, the options on the bench were in the last weeks now a bit young but even that is great. I think everybody loves it when Ben Doak is coming on and when he’s having his minutes in all these kind of games. Stefan is back in full training. So yes, we got younger, but we had to. We are lesser experienced but that’s normal. But we are full of desire. I love this team.”
