The Reds have signed Fabinho from Monaco in a £43.7million move so far this summer and also welcomed Naby Keita from RB Leipzig in a £52.75m deal agreed last August. Klopp was also thought to be keen to sign a new No 1 goalkeeper but has been put off by the price tags slapped on top-tier targets Alisson Becker and Jan Oblak of Roma and Atletico Madrid and no alternatives of similar quality are seen as available.
Liverpool were close to signing Nabil Fekir from Lyon at the start of last month only to back out of a £53m deal at the 11th hour due to concerns over the results of the France international’s medical after a previous knee injury. The Champions League finalists could revisit a deal for Fekir once his World Cup participation is over although any agreement would require a restructuring of the previous fee.
Xherdan Shaqiri is another attacker strongly linked with an Anfield move but while the Stoke City winger’s World Cup campaign with Switzerland has now ended, the Merseyside outfit have yet to make an official approach even though he could be picked up for a bargain £13.5m. But with the start of Liverpool’s 2018-19 Premier League season just five weeks away and with the window closing this year on the eve of the new campaign on August 9, Klopp insists all is not done in the market.
He told Liverpool’s official website: “Yes, I am happy [with the squad]. And the work [on more signings] is always going on, that’s how it is. Why should we stop until the window is closing. It’s all good in the moment. We will see what happens and I will not, and don’t want to, say it looks a little bit better in that department or this department. If all the players are coming back and healthy from the World Cup then we have already a really, really good team and that’s the only thing I need to know. What happens on the other side, we will see, but we don’t finish thinking about it before the last day of the window.”
