Victory over Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League season saw Liverpool secure third and Champions League football for next season.
At one stage, that appeared extremely unlikely for the Reds, but a fine sequence of results, accompanied by Leicester City's downturn in form, saw the tide change.
Now, just over two months on from the Reds' final game of the season, they are being linked with plenty of stars now that the summer window has arrived, with Jurgen Klopp having already added Ibrahima Konate to his ranks.
But who else can we expect to see at Anfield? We take a look at the latest gossip from around the globe and rate how likely they are to happen.
Who?
Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
Where?
Spanish publication Deportes Cuatro.
What?
According to the report, the money Real Madrid get from the sale of Raphael Varane to Manchester United will be used to sign Mbappe from PSG this summer.
It has been reported both in England and Spain that a deal is moving closer to completion, with a €50m fee being suggested for the defender.
As a result, the report goes on to claim that Mbappe wants to join Madrid in August, and will continue to train with PSG but not accept their contract offer.
The 22-year-old’s current deal expires next summer, and the Ligue 1 club are desperate to keep hold of their star player.
Who?
Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella.
Where?
Italian news outlet Gazzetta.it.
What?
According to the report, Inter are planning to extend the contract of Barella, with the club hoping to tie down the 24-year-old amid interest from Premier League clubs.
The report goes on to claim that Barella is a highly important player for the club’s project going forward with the Serie A side viewing the Italian as a future captain.
The 24-year-old's current contract is set to expire at the end of June 2024 and the Nerazzurri are looking to extend it a further year at higher salary terms in order to keep him happy at the club amid interest from Liverpool and Arsenal.
Who?
Liverpool forward Xherdan Shaqiri.
Where?
Italian outlet CalcioNapoli24 vis Inside Futbol.
What?
Serie A giants Napoli have no interest in signing Shaqiri from Liverpool this summer, according to the report.
As reported by the ECHO yesterday, Shaqiri has informed Liverpool officials of his desire for a new challenge after making just six starts for the Reds last season.
Anfield sources are unable to place a valuation on Shaqiri at this stage, but it is believed the club would be looking for around £15million for Shaqiri.
Napoli have long been linked with a move for the Swiss international, but the report claims any move this summer appears unlikely.
