The arrivals of Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas since the end of the 2019-20 season have bolstered the champions’ ranks for the new campaign, but the boss is not anticipating more activity in terms of incomings prior to the October 5 deadline.
“I don’t expect a lot, to be honest,” Klopp replied, when asked about transfers and his options at centre-back specifically.
“The centre-half position - you think you are well covered, we have three absolutely top, top, top-class centre-halves, young players in behind, Fabinho in the back hand if you want, and then all of a sudden three players are out for a few days.
“That’s not nice but you cannot, we cannot, sort that in the transfer market, to be honest, because that’s just not possible and we will not even try. I think if nothing more serious happens, I hope we don’t have to try that, but if the situation stays like it is in the moment then no, nothing will happen.
“For all the rest, I think we are in quite a good place now squad-wise and what will happen in the outgoing side, I have no idea in the moment. We will see.”
