Liverpool have wasted no time in getting down to business after finishing fifth last season and Jurgen Klopp may 'only' need a further £68m to put the finishing touches to his midfield overhaul.
Shelving initial plans to pursue Jude Bellingham due to the costs involved, the Reds instead wanted to spread their budget on two or three additions for their engine room. Before the transfer market even reopened, they welcomed Argentina star Alexis Mac Allister to Anfield for an undisclosed fee.
Countless names have been mooted as possible follow-up signings. Khephren Thuram, Manu Kone, Gabri Veiga and Ryan Gravenberch - among others - continue to do the rounds, while Klopp and his recruitment team are thought to be targeting a younger profile to blend with Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and new arrival Mac Allister.
