Liverpool will fight “for everything” this season but manager Jurgen Klopp expects it to be a really tough battle between several clubs as his side bids to regain the Premier League title that Manchester City reclaimed last term.Whilst new signings, unlike their main rivals, have been kept to a minimum — France Under-21 defender Ibrahima Konate was announced back in May from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig — Liverpool have focussed on getting key players to sign new contracts.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander Arnold, Fabinho and notably, on Friday, Virgil van Dijk all agreed to new deals. Klopp says they will all be essential to Liverpool’s title challenge and rediscovering the panache that saw them crowned champions in 2020 for the first time in three decades. “Last year, the gap was pretty big ,” said Klopp at Friday’s press conference ahead of their opening Premier League match away on Saturday to newly-promoted Norwich.“I’m not sure if it can get any more intense for all the rest.“We don’t want to hide our ambitions, we want to fight for everything.”Klopp, though, says it is not only the top four sides in the league last season who will aspire to being viable title candidates.“Leicester made really good business again.“There are so many teams.
United have spent over £100 million on Jadon Sancho and Real Madrid’s French international defender Raphael Varane — the latter is undergoing a medical — with a central midfielder still on their menu.“We all know the situations at Chelsea, City, PSG . What’s happening at United, I don’t know — I don’t know how they do it.“We can spend, we’re allowed to spend the money we earn — that’s what we always did.
