Klopp confirms quiet summer for Liverpool: We'll bring back injured players first | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp has said Liverpool's first transfer priority will be getting their injured players back in action.

The Reds were quiet over the past few transfer windows amid the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic.

And Klopp believes it will be much of the same this summer.

"It's always how it is. It depends on the business, if somebody wants to leave, if players want to go, if we sell, that's why we can never really plan early," he said at a press conference on Wednesday.

"Not playing in the Champions League doesn't help, obviously, but it's not our biggest problem, because the market will be really strange.

"I hear a lot about big, big-money moves. I don't know if Kylian Mbappe is going or not, [Erling] Haaland, [Jadon] Sancho, these kinds of things.

"I don't see that happening a lot this summer because the football world is still not in the same place as it was before.

"Getting the [injured] players back makes us better already, definitely. That's how it is. These are our first transfers.

"We don't know exactly when that will happen, but it will happen at one point, and all the rest we have to see."

Klopp has also admitted Liverpool's budget will be affected if they don't qualify for the Champions League.

The Reds are seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with two games in hand.

"If we don't go to the Champions League, it's not good," he added.

"But first and foremost, there's still a chance, and as long as we have a chance we not should speak about it as if we have no chance. If not, then we have to deal with that."
