Speaking on The Done Deal Show, CBS journalist, Ben Jacobs, has shared what he’s heard from some senior sources within Liverpool about transfers.
It had been reported previously that the Reds’ transfer business was done for this summer, but an injury to Thiago Alcantara has led to more speculation about a new midfield addition.
However, according to Jacobs, the plan at Liverpool remains exactly the same. The higher ups at the club aren’t planning on making any more moves, and their only plans are to sit back and watch every other club scramble for late signings.
What’s been said?
Jacobs responded when asked if Liverpool will make any more signings.
“That’s the key question isn’t it. They never say never at Liverpool, but they’re very content with their window so far. I think we may see a swoop based on injuries, but they don’t buy players for the sake of it,” Jacobs said.
“I know the Liverpool football department very well, one or two that I have interacted with, the two I speak to are at quite a senior level at Liverpool, and when you know somebody at that level you try not to bug them every two minutes.
“The people I know at Liverpool tell me the same thing every single year. Their aim at this stage of the window is to turn on Sky Sports News and laugh at all of the news from all of the other clubs, a lot of which they knew far in advance. Liverpool are very clued up and I don’t think they’re forced by injuries. If the right opportunity comes, we will wait and see.”
No need to panic.
Teams that are active in the final weeks of the window are usually doing business because they’re desperate, but Liverpool have no need to panic.
Yes, the injury to Thiago isn’t ideal, but with Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner in reserve, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.
Liverpool can sit back and enjoy watching the transfer circus around them over the next couple of weeks.
