Jurgen Klopp admits he would like to “risk a bit more” in the transfer market
The Reds were quick to wrap up deals for Fabio Carvalho, Calvin Ramsay and Darwin Nunez this summer, and the club’s business looked to have stopped there.
A midfielder had initially been on the agenda with Aurelien Tchouameni targetted, before his move to Real Madrid, but 2023 was then signposted as the summer a new addition would be made.
Injuries have exposed a weakness in the squad, though, and Klopp has said the club are still looking to sign a midfielder before Thursday’s 11pm deadline, but that “we cannot force it.”
Klopp has previously suggested his hands were tied by the club’s financial limits and when asked, on Tuesday, if he feels like he’s been backed by the owners, he said he would be ready to “risk a bit more.”
“Look what I don’t like about [the question] is if I say now, ‘I’m not sure’, then we make a massive thing of it, but it’s not,” Klopp told reporters.
“I realise it was always like this. Is it always easy? No. Do we discuss these kinds of things in public? Of course not! Why would we?
“And we won’t start now with it.
“Let me say it like this; from time to time I would be ready to risk a bit more. But, how I said, I don’t decide that. It’s fine.
