For Jurgen Klopp, there is only one similarity between the summers of 2018 and 2022.
Four years ago, in the days and weeks after the Champions League final loss to Real Madrid in Kiev, Liverpool would embark on the biggest spending summer in their history to bring Fabinho, Alisson Becker, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri to Anfield.
A total that came in just shy of £170m gave the Reds added depth and a new look as the big fees were paid out to land Fabinho (£40m), Alisson (£65m) and Keita (£52m), in particular, to bolster a squad that had added £75m Virgil van Dijk to its ranks at the beginning of that same calendar year.
