We are not scared of making big offer for the right players - Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says the ballooning transfer fees in football will not inhibit the work Liverpool want to do in the summer window, but the club will recruit surgically and not for the sake of appearances.

The former Dortmund head coach said Liverpool are not afraid of making an outrageous bid for the right players.

“We are not afraid of big numbers at the club, we are not afraid to spend,” Klopp said. “But we have to do the right things, look at the right players and negotiate with the right clubs.”

The 50-year-old explained the club’s strategy in the window as Liverpool look to further advance in the new campaign, having finished in the top four during the German’s first full season in charge at Anfield.
 
“There’s two possibilities to strengthen the squad: one is to get better players, the other is to get players with similar quality to what you have,” Klopp said.

“It’s difficult to get better players, because the ones we have are already really good. If you get the same quality, then the age group that they’re in means that very big steps are possible for everyone - the new players and the ones already at the club."

“That’s what then gives the push in the performance, that’s what we’re looking for.”

Liverpool have signed Mohammed Salah from AS ROMA and Scottish left back Robertson from Hull city, they are also after RB Liepzig's Naby Keita as they bid to win the premier league next season.
