Neymar and eight other players Liverpool are tipped to sign this summer

Even by the incredibly efficient standards Liverpool have set while operating in the transfer window in recent years, this summer's business at Anfield has been completed surprisingly fast.

The Reds have already added Benfica striker Darwin Nunez to their ranks for what could end up a club-record fee, and his arrival was swiftly followed by 18-year-old Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay who put pen to paper last week on a five-year contract.

If you cast your mind back a little further, the Reds secured the signature of highly-rated Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho in May after they agonisingly missed out on a deal to sign the Whites prodigy back in January.

With pre-season getting underway at the start of next month, it appears Klopp has done all the deals he and his squad require ahead of the 2022/23 season. However, given how unpredictable football can be, especially in the current volatile market, it would be foolish to rule out any further incomings between now and the deadline on September 1.

So, here are the players Sky Bet have tipped Liverpool to sign.

Youri Tielemans 20/1

Perhaps the most realistic deal on the list, it's no surprise to see Youri Tielemans named as a potential addition to the Reds' squad. The Belgium international has been heavily linked with a move to Merseyside over the last year following Gini Wijnaldum's departure from Anfield.

A fully-fledged international, Tielemans' versatility would make him a great addition to the squad if Anfield officials looked to freshen things up with the signing of the 25-year-old.

With just one year left on his current deal at the King Power, and constantly demonstrating his ability to add goals and assist to his game, it's no surprise to see a whole list of clubs interested.

Arenal are currently the favourites to secure his signature this summer at 1/2, while Liverpool are priced at 20/1.

Raphinha 25/1

It's little surprise to see Leeds United winger Raphinha linked with a move to Anfield, a hypothetical deal that has been talked up by various personalities in the media since his arrival to the Premier League.

However, following the signing of Nunez, it seems Liverpool have added all they need to their attacking ranks this summer as they prepare for the first Premier League season in seven years without Sadio Mane.

The 25-year-old currently has two years' left on his contract and is currently priced at Evens to join Arsenal. Meanwhile, a move to Anfield is priced at 25/1.

Marcus Rashford 33/1

A deal which seems severely unrealistic for everybody involved, not least Marcus Rashford the born and bred Mancunian.

Despite enduring his worst campaign at Old Trafford last season, the arrival of new manager Erik Ten Hag should see the England international handed a fresh opportunity to make amends for his woes.

PSG are currently favourites to secure his signature at 9/2, while Klopp's side are priced as outsiders at 33/1.

Bukayo Saka 14/1

Another name on the list that feels slightly more realistic than others is Bukayo Saka.

The 20-year-old is without a doubt a player who deserves to be playing in the Champions League and that is something Arsenal have been unable to offer him during his time in the senior side.

Reports earlier this month revealed that Manchester City are keen admirers of the attacker, and they could make a move to secure his signature as he currently has two years' left on his deal and is yet to sign an extension.

Pep Guardiola's side are currently listed as slight favourites ahead of Liverpool at 12/1, while the Reds are priced slightly higher at 14/1.

Kalvin Phillips 20/1

Since guiding Leeds United back to the Premier League in 2020, Kalvin Phillips' stock has continued to rise year on year, which has resulted in constant speculation about his long-term future at Elland Road.

Even after an injury-hampered season last time out, the England international is 2/7 to join Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Reds, who were linked with midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni before his move to Real Madrid, are priced at 20/1 to sign the midfielder.

Robert Lewandowski 20/1

One in, one out at Bayern Munich this summer?

Following the addition of Sadio Mane earlier this week, it seems that the Bundesliga champions are preparing for to lose star striker Robert Lewandowski.

Sky Bet have the Poland international priced at 20/1 to join the Reds.

Christian Eriksen 33/1

Following his return to professional football with Brentford, following his Cardiac Arrest at last summer's European Championships, Christian Eriksen is currently a free agent having only signed a six-month deal with the Bees in January.

This means he is currently available for free and given how sizeable his impact upon returning to the Premier League was - there are, as expected - a whole host of clubs interested in signing the Dane.

Newcastle are current favourites at 6/4, while Klopp's men again find themselves as outsides - priced at 33/1.

Neymar 33/1

Following recent reports that Neymar could be sold by PSG this summer, Liverpool are surprisingly one of a few Premier League teams linked with the 30-year-old Brazilian.

Chelsea find themselves as the favourite alternative destination this summer if he does leave Paris, while both Manchester clubs are priced ahead of the Reds.

Liverpool find themselves listed at 33/1 to sign the former Barcelona man this summer.

Harry Kane 20/1

It seems unlikely that Harry Kane would choose to abandon Antonio Conte's project this summer after finally securing a return to Champions League for the first time since 2019.

The forward, who has been re-galvanised under the Italian, is 14/1 to one to sign for Manchester United this summer.

Liverpool find themselves next up on the list, due to City securing a deal to bring Erling Haaland to the Etihad this summer, at 20/1 to sign the current England captain.

In the unlikely scenario that Harry Kane does choose to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
