Liverpool have already dipped into the transfer market this summer and there remains intense speculation on who might join Alexis Mac Allister through the door at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp and his recruitment team are working around the clock to strengthen - particularly in the engine room - after losing James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in that position. However, there are other plans being put in place with a left-sided central defender on the radar.
It means newly-appointed sporting director Jorg Schmadtke has been getting straight down to business, following his handover from Julian Ward - after Mac Allister was signed - while there are enough other bits on his to-do list as the countdown to the next Premier League season continues.
