Jurgen Klopp launched into an impassioned defence of Liverpool’s transfer policy after acknowledging the Reds will need to make a number of transfers next summer.
Having nearly won an unprecedented quadruple last year, Liverpool are already out of both domestic cups and on the verge of Champions League elimination after losing 5-2 to Real Madrid at Anfield in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie in midweek. Meanwhile, they are at risk of failing to finish in the top four this season, with the Reds currently down in eighth and seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to Crystal Palace, Klopp insisted Liverpool weren’t in a position to make mass changes sooner, while disappointing campaign has not changed the club’s transfer plans for the summer.
