Jürgen Klopp has said Liverpool must act decisively on their transfer plans for this summer regardless of Champions League status or fresh investment because the increased spending power of Premier League rivals cannot be ignored.
The Liverpool manager has long maintained there need to be major changes to his squad at the end of the season, with Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham the leading target for a midfield overhaul. The prospect of Champions League football being on offer is in doubt, with Liverpool trailing Real Madrid 5-2 from the first leg of their last-16 tie and Tottenham by seven points in the race for fourth place, albeit with two games in hand.
