“By the time the January transfer window is open, Klopp may decide that his options need increasing with the Liverpool manager aware of what is still on offer to him and the club on New Year’s Day.”

The reveal that Liverpool will continue to watch the transfer market – and will make a move when they want to – is more in line with comments made by the owners. The club’s success last season only added to the finances available.

While the conspiracy theorists are speculating Klopp has no money, the wild optimists believe they are saving for something huge.

One theory about why Liverpool didn’t spend any money this summer is that they are planning an enormous move for 2020. The leading candidates for that theory are Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele or Jadon Sancho.
