Jurgen Klopp revealed that during the summer transfer window, Liverpool will not avoid spending money and will try to compete for the Premier League title. In the first part of this season, the Merseyside club looked like a serious competitor to Chelsea at the top of the table, but due to poor performances in 2017, they dropped to fifth place. The Reds' coach wants to avoid a similar slump next season, so the team will need reinforcements. "We still need to make proper transfers, but of course, we will need to make transfers," Klopp said. "If we play at the highest level, no one asks for new players, but if it doesn't work out, everyone asks for them." "We are in that situation now and we are already working on it. We will spend money in the summer." In 2016, Liverpool managed to attract players like Sadio Mane, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Joel Matip, but Klopp admitted that such deals do not always depend on finances. "It's not about money - we can try to acquire whatever players we want. However, at the highest level, you may end up competing with Barcelona or someone else," the German added. "Some players prefer to live in London or Manchester rather than Liverpool, so we have to make a decision and try to make it happen." "There will be some new faces in the summer, as always."
