Liverpool are yet to make a signing in the summer transfer window, with the new season rapidly approaching.

Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have been very busy with new appointments, with Arne Slot replacing Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager.

Slot will have his full Liverpool squad available soon, with players having staggered breaks given their international commitments.

Latest arrival Luis Diaz showed off a new style, with the Colombian joined in returning to pre-season by several of his teammates.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, Darwin Nunez and Virgil van Dijk have all now reported back for duty.

Why have Liverpool not made any summer transfer window signings?

But frustratingly for Liverpool fans, it remains the same squad as last season, apart from those who have departed.

Journalist Nizaar Kinsella has now revealed exactly why no signings have been made, writing for BBC Sport that the Reds are being careful not to disrupt the talented and close-knit squad assembled by Klopp.

He added that the calibre of player needed to improve the squad is so high that there are only a limited number of options that could be signed.

Four directors appointed at Liverpool this summer

The current Reds squad not only have a new manager on Merseyside, but also four new senior staff members.

Michael Edwards and Julian Ward have returned to Liverpool, with the former appointed as CEO of Football for FSG, while the latter appointed FSG’s technical director.

Richard Hughes meanwhile has landed the sporting director role, with Pedro Marques becoming the club’s new technical director.

Kinsella added that the appointments are considered as ‘exceptional’ hires both inside and outside of the Merseyside club.

Many fans do, however, remain frustrated by the lack of activity in the transfer window, although that could drastically change in the coming weeks.
