Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has sort of sent some mixed messages about the transfer market this summer. First he had said that his club, as well as any that wishes to get to/remain at the top must spend big every window. Later, Klopp implied that not much of anything is going to happen this window, by saying the additions have already been made.

That said, we still have a couple of LFC transfer news items to cover on this Monday. First, back-up goalkeeper Simon Mignolet will be staying put this summer, and secondly, the Reds may be in the hunt to acquire a new left back before the window closes.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made comments that will certainly bring down expectations of what the club could/might/will do this summer transfer window. It remains to be seen whether this is mind games or not, but it’s quite clear that this summer will not be like 2018, the best summer transfer window in their history.

Beyond that, it was among the most fruitful transfer windows that any outfit anywhere has ever had. The Merseyside club spent north of £170 million on goalkeeper Alisson, and midfielders Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri.

The Liverpool FC summer transfer window is finally starting to come alive. We had an exclusive interview  a couple weeks ago with Ian Rush, and during the Q&A the clubs’s all-time leading scorer said that he expects Anfield to make a couple signings this summer.

A couple days later, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said his club, as well as any other elite club, must spend big in order to get/remain relevant. LFC’s first signing of the summer was Sepp van den Berg, a 17-year-old PEC Zwolle central defender, who was sought after by Bayern Munich, Ajax and Sampdoria, among others.

Fulham midfielder Harvey Elliott is/was a young man who is very much in high demand. According to multiple outlets, Liverpool have won the race to sign the kid who became the youngest player in Premier League history this past May.

Anfield reportedly beat out the likes of Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig to the punch for the 16-year-old, who was also scouted Chelsea by Manchester City. (Hey, Manchester United, Juventus and Bayern Munich- where you guys on this one?)
