Liverpool landed the first real blow in the summer transfer market when World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister signed from Brighton for £45 million - but getting other players through the door has not proved easy.
Jurgen Klopp has been linked with a number of players around Europe as he bids to bounce back from an underwhelming season. And reinforcements are needed with at least six players confirmed to he heading out of Anfield before the new season.
RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has emerged as a big target this week, with Bayern player Ryan Gravenberch another Bundesliga star on the manager's radar. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Liverpool transfer news.
Leipzig make move despite Klopp's stance
RB Leipzig are determined to try and sign Fabio Carvalho on a permanent transfer - although Liverpool have already rejected an initial proposal from the German side.
He could leave the Reds on loan ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, as Jurgen Klopp does not want to sell. Leipzig are amongst a number of clubs who want to sign the Portugal Under-21 international, with West Ham, Burnley and Brentford also interested in a move for the youngster.
However, according to BILD in Germany, Leizpig's hope is to get Carvalho more minutes and make him feel so comfortable that he wants to stay long-term beyond the initial year loan. As Leizpig have a good relationship with Liverpool, they are hopeful that could help them in getting Carvalho permanently, even though it could wreck the two clubs' connection.

Reds set sights on three midfield targets
Liverpool's summer transfer targets are set to come into focus, with their midfield overhaul showing signs of entering its final stages following recent developments.
Khephren Thuram and Nicolo Barella have both been named as Liverpool targets, with the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain creating space in midfield to be filled. Another player on the radar is Hungarian playmaker Dominik Szoboszlai, although negotiations are reported to be 'complicated'.
If the signings do not materialise, it will leave Jurgen Klopp looking inwards towards his current crop of midfield talent, with Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott both having played extensive roles within his line-up last season.
Klopp's interest in Kone scuppered by injury
Liverpool have also been linked with Borussia Monchengladbach playmaker Manu Kone this summer, but any move could now be on the backburner.
Currently representing France Under 21s in the European Championship, Kone was left on crutches after sustaining a knee injury during their 4-1 victory over Switzerland. Kone made 30 appearances in the Bundesliga last season, and has attracted the interest of several European clubs.
