Liverpool may be adamant that they are not going to make any further signings this summer but that does not mean that they are not planning for the transfer windows of the future. Far from it.
They need to have their plans in place so they can be ready to make a move when the time is right. We saw that in January, when Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Luis Diaz prompted the Reds to sign the Colombian sooner than they likely otherwise would have.
Opportunities can present themselves in the market which are too good to turn down. If a talented young player refuses to extend his contract and becomes available at minimal expense, it would be remiss of Liverpool not to at least consider the possibility of bringing the starlet aboard.
