Ibrahima Konate has challenged Liverpool's recruitment team to get it right this summer transfer window, saying the squad cannot begin next season "understaffed and lacking quality".
The Reds have so far added Alexis Mac Allister to a squad that lost James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Roberto Firmino at the end of last season and more incomings are expected following the official opening of the window on Wednesday.
Jurgen Klopp and new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke are continuing to assess the options as Liverpool go about restructuring a midfield department that also lost Arthur Melo following the conclusion of his loan spell and the deal for Mac Alliston, who joined from Brighton last week for a fee believed to be around the £35m mark, represents astute business for a 24-year-old World Cup winner with ample Premier League experience.
