A week left of a subdued transfer window and it remains all quiet at Liverpool.
On the incoming front, that is.
The Reds, as has been extensively reported on these pages all month, are almost certain to be steering clear of adding to their ranks before the 11pm on deadline on the 31st.
With Mohamed Salah, Naby Keita and Sadio Mane back in contention by the time Leicester are entertained at Anfield on February 10 and Harvey Elliott and Thiago Alcantara on the comeback trail, Klopp's options are about to be significantly boosted.
There will be no mad-dash attempts to bolster the ranks this time around at the AXA Centre as Klopp and his staff make the most of a rare gap in the fixture list between now and February 6.
The landscape is much different two 12 months ago when Liverpool were forced to hare across Europe on deadline day to add Ozan Kabak to a decimated defensive department alongside Ben Davies - a player who is yet to play a single minute for Klopp, despite still officially being employed at Anfield.
Continuity is key and given the relative paucity of what was provided to help out a defence that was on its knee thanks to a freak succession of season-ending injuries in 2021, it should come as no surprise to see Michael Edwards and co keeping their powder dry in 2022.
“A winter transfer works when you either wanted to sign a player [in] the summer before or the summer after anyway," Klopp was quoted as saying recently.
That much is true when you think of Liverpool's biggest January signing of the Klopp era in Virgil van Dijk.

The Reds, of course, were chasing the £75million Dutchman six months earlier before they were forced to hastily cease and desist by Southampton's complaints of a tapping-up row.
The rest of Klopp 's senior January dealings lay bare just how little stock he and sporting director Edwards place in winter windows.
Steven Caulker was an emergency stop-gap signing at centre-half in 2016, the deal for Marko Grujic saw him loaned straight back to Red Star Belgrade and Takumi Minamino's signature was secured after Liverpool took advantage of a little-known release clause to make him a low-risk addition.
So it would represent a huge shift in focus for the Liverpool boss and the club's recruitment team if the Reds were to delve into the market for a significant addition this month.
But while the arrivals lounge will be virtually empty at the AXA Centre this week, there are still a number of issues to resolve for players already at the club.
Perhaps the biggest one will centre around Nat Phillips, who is being admired by several clubs.
It is Watford who are understood to have been the most forthright in their interest so far, having an offer to take Phillips on loan rejected last week.
The Hornets wanted the former Bolton defender on a short-term deal with an obligation to buy him if they avoided Premier League relegation, but Liverpool are holding firm.
The Reds are keen for a straight sale and are looking for around £12m-£15m for a player who is also being watched by Burnley and Newcastle as well interest from Italian and German sides.
With Ibrahima Konate adapting well and Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip all holding up in their respective returns from long-term injuries, chances for Phillips are slim in the Liverpool first team and a departure feels inevitable at this stage.
Anfield sources, though, are adamant it won't be on the cheap and a new deal that was signed in August, has preserved a value that rocketed following Phillips' performances for Liverpool last season as they finished third.
One player who won't be leaving is Divock Origi, however.
Newcastle were interested before they signed Chris Wood from Burnley, but Origi's Liverpool career will continue until the summer at the earliest.
Even with the impending return of Mane and Salah, Klopp does not want to lose Origi this month and the Belgian has not indicated a desire to leave either, it is understood.
Leighton Clarkson is a player who could yet leave before January 31.
The young midfielder moved to his boyhood club Blackburn Rovers on loan last summer but returned to his parent side this month after struggling to make the breakthrough at Ewood Park.
Academy sources believe Clarkson will be allowed to find another club to join on loan but Liverpool will take a studious approach to just who takes the 20-year-old off their hands.
Liverpool are not believed to be looking for another club for Rhys Williams as it stands.
The defender, who played 19 times for Klopp last season, spent the first half of the campaign at Swansea City but started just five times before he was recalled.
With Phillips still expected to be the subject of firm interest, Williams will likely be retained as a fifth choice centre-back as Liverpool ensure they don't fall foul of another injury crisis that ruined their hopes of defending the title last term.
As has been the case for some time now, Loris Karius will be allowed to search for another club.
The goalkeeper has not played for the club since the 2018 Champions League final and despite rumours of a shock recall for the FA Cup game with Shrewsbury this month, Karius remains a long way down the pecking order.
"Loris I wish him only the best and he will find a club whether it is now or in the summer and from there he will go on, I’m very sure," Klopp said this month.
