Jurgen Klopp has hinted at unexpected transfer as Ibrahima Konate makes Liverpool prediction

For some time now, there's been a feeling that Liverpool's collective outlook has been very much front-facing beyond this season and instead towards a critically important summer.

Having spent much of the past five years of season run-ins merely concentrating on the very next game - whether it was trying to overthrow leaders Manchester City for the Premier League title (2019, 2022), retaining focus to get over the line and become champions (2020) or keeping a winning run going to secure a top-four finish (2021) - Liverpool have rarely been able to look beyond what has been immediately next up for them in the month of May.

That, though, feels like it has shifted considerably at Anfield this term as the Reds start to address what they can do to ensure an underwhelming campaign is not repeated next time out.
