We could yet see further incomings this summer, while Klopp may also want to trim his squad before the deadline.
With that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Anfield:
Firmino interest
Juventus are said to want Liverpool star Roberto Firmino as part of a swap deal for midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

But CMW are now saying Juventus are more interested in signing Firmino.
Liverpool are unlikely to entertain that interest, with Rabiot reportedly being available for between £13million and £17million.

But Milner is happy on Merseyside and has decided to stick around for another year, extending his contract to cover the coming season.
Williams could be sold
Liverpool may have rejected an offer for Neco Williams this summer, but they could yet sell the Welshman.
According to The Athletic, the Reds rejected a £15million bid from Nottingham Forest, but £4million of that bid was made up of add-ons.
The report claims Forest are expected to make a fresh offer, and Liverpool could accept £15million if the money is all paid in one go.
