So far, Liverpool have only sealed one key signing this summer in the form of goalie Loris Karius from Mainz.
The Reds must act swiftly to secure the key outfield signings as well to challenge the best of teams in the Premier League next season.
If reports are anything to go by then once again Barcelona attacker Cristian Tello is linked with a move to Anfield.
Klopp is a huge admirer of the Spanish international and the Reds have been interested in signing him for quite some time. Now, reports suggest that the Merseysiders are lining up a move to finally lure him in the summer transfer window (Marca).
Tello won the La Liga title with the Catalan giants under the management of Pep Guardiola who once claimed (Goal):
“Cristian is a winger, a bullet. He is very fast and does well in one-on-one situations”
Last season, Cristian played on loan with Italian side Fiorentina. He featured in 15 Serie A games for the Viola, scored 2 goals and also provided 5 assists.
The 24-year-old versatile attacker has a release clause of $26 million (Metro) in his contract.
In your opinion, should Liverpool splash the cash and sign Tello?

As figures go those statistics should appeal to the likes of Watford or West Brom! Been at Barca for several years with fleeting success and not many games and, let’s be honest, his figures in Florence were, at best, seriously average or worse. When we could potentially get Higuaín, 36 goals in 35 games in Italy, getting Tello would be very much a downsizing of expectations for next year even if he’d be a bit cheaper! Is that it? Are we going to be heading to the cheap and tacky Poundshop whilst United, City, Arsenal and Chelsea buy footballing royalty? If so, no Europe for us the following year unless booked via Thomas Cook . . . but we’d have a few million in the bank, which should please the bean-counters!
I think the ‘bullet’ is spennt! Time to make a collection for Higuain.
We can never come back to top 4 if we continue signing average players, see the likes of United, City, Chelsea, they spend big and get quality results.. I don’t think Liverpool transfer committee are really doing a good job..
We need the likes of Leicester City Kante, Hector, Higuain , Meyers Isco. Pls Klop make us happy by signing quality players.
It requires great skills to be able to consistently misjudge a mediocre footballer for someone who has serious potential to become a world-class player On that note, the Liverpool Transfer Committee is doing just great!
Can the club make us happy for once? A self profess player said he wants Liverpool (Higuain) and yet he is being ignored. Ayew claimed he wanted Liverpool, he was ignored, he came back to haunt us, not even our so called £32m striker scored more than him.
Am afraid Klopp is also threading the path of Brendan Rodgers of buying average players who should not even be in the reserve team let alone first team.
If the present owners cannot spend on quality, proven players, it is better they throw in the towel and let the Asian oil moguls come and buy the club.
I would rephrase your opening to “Liverpool has sealed three new signings for the 2016/17 season in the form of Grujic, Matip and Karius.” Indicating we’ve only sign one player (even though you are contextually correct with inclusion of “in the summer”) might be misleading.
Lemme believe that this story isn’t emanating from the top brass of the club cos if it is then the real question should be what the hell are they smoking up there.
With other teams bracing up with experience players/players that has made their marks, liverpool football club would still be ear marking potentials. They what they have in mind is making the club a “Potential club”.
I thought the embarrassing transfer moves had gone when Brendan Rodgers left. Apparently not. Sort it out LFC at least try and sign some decent players before going for players that couldn’t even get into Newcastle United’s squad.
