Liverpool have been linked with a number of players for the upcoming summer window but getting the players at the club is a completely different task due to various delays and negotiations taking place.

In normal circumstances, a player only arrives at the club with a few days to go before the start of the season but Jurgen Klopp wants to get all his transfers done as quickly as possible.

Liverpool did sign Georginio Wijnaldum really early on last season, on July 22nd, and Klopp wants a similar time frame for the new set of players coming in at the club.

The German was quoted by the Liverpool Echo when he was asked if getting business done early is important for the club.

“If you ask me as a private person, I would say as soon as possible.

“But I’m long enough in the business to know that’s only kind of a dream. We will see when we are finished, but we will tell you when we are finished.

“It’s probably really likely that we will have to do a lot of things during our holiday but that’s how it is, maybe in the pre-season, I don’t know. We have to see.

“That depends on who you can get and when. Different things can happen. That’s how it is, and we have to react.”

The Reds are also in a big fight to ensure Champions League football returns to Anfield next season but Klopp was adamant that reaching the tournament is important but signings aren’t dependent on achieving a top four place.

“I would think that the better we finish, maybe the easier it would be,” he added. “But it doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t work if we can’t go to the Champions League. That’s the situation. Again, like I said, it’s always like this.

“The world of football is not like this any more that you can find a player nobody else is aware of. ‘We have him and nobody knows about him.’ That’s really, really rare.

“There are always other teams around. We have to go in with different things. One of these is probably the tournaments we play in next year. Three of them are sure, one is not sure. That’s all.”
