Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is happy with the Reds squad even if the club does not make any big summer signings.

The only newcomer to the Reds squad during the transfer window has been 17-year-old Dutch defender Sepp Van Den Berg, and Klopp doesn’t expect that situation to change significantly.

He said on liverpoolfc.com: ‘We are pretty relaxed in that, we will see what’s coming up.

‘How I said, 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 £300 million or £200 million’. There are maybe only two clubs in the world – it looks in the moment like Barcelona and [Real] Madrid can do the same – [Manchester] City and PSG that can do it every year.

‘But we are fine. I’m happy with the team, we are really happy. 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.

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

The European champions will continue their preparations for the new campaign with a match against Klopp’s former team, Borussia Dortmund, in Indiana on Saturday.

Star trio Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Alisson Becker will begin pre-season training ahead of Liverpool’s summer camp in Evian later this month after being given extra time off because of international commitments.
