Jurgen Klopp makes Liverpool transfer declaration over one position he wants to fill

Jurgen Klopp insists that he is ‘relaxed’ about Liverpool’s transfer plans and is ‘happy’ with the current Reds team he has at his disposal.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager has made just one signing this transfer window, with young defender Sepp van den Berg joining the club from PEC Zwolle in a £1.3m move.

Supporters are hoping to see more new faces through the door before the seasons gets underway, but Klopp has played down the idea of heavy spending.

Speaking to the club's official website in Indiana, he said: “We are pretty relaxed in that, we will see what’s coming up.

“It will not be the biggest transfer window of LFC; we invested a lot in the team in the last two years, I would say. We cannot spend every year in the same manner.

“People talk about it like, ‘Now another £300m or £200m’. There are maybe only two clubs in the world – it looks in the moment like Barcelona and [Real] Madrid can do the same – City and PSG that can do it every year.”

However, while the German is happy with his squad, he did admit there is one position he would like to strengthen this summer if possible.

“I’m happy with the team, we are really happy”, admitted the 52-year-old.

“We have to see if we find maybe one position, if we find something for it, but there’s no real pressure because it’s not about signing a player. We have solutions for all the situations.

“Do we have exactly the solution that everybody from outside would be 100 per cent happy? I don’t think so because people want to have world-class here, world-class here and the guy on the bench has to be world-class as well. That’s not so easy. But we are of course working on it.”

In terms of players departing the club, meanwhile, it appears as though this will also be somewhat of a small operation.

“On the outgoing side, we are relaxed”, stated Klopp.

“The young boys are here and enjoyed working with us a lot. Not to forget Naby and Shaq are injured still and are not here with us. Players will come back.

“I’m really looking forward to the season, it will be really exciting again.”
