Luis Diaz was the club's only January signing, with the Reds negotiating a £49 million fee with Porto to bring the Colombian to Anfield. They also tried to recruit Fulham's Fabio Carvalho, but the deal fell through before the deadline.
And, as the season draws to a close, speculation about possible summer transfers is heating up. Here, we take a look at the latest rumours and assess how likely they are to materialize.

Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.
Where?
Nacional is a Spanish news organization.
What?Jurgen Klopp is a great fan of Valverde, according to the source, and has told the Liverpool leadership to do whatever it takes to sign him this summer.
Valverde, who played in a right-wing role in Real Madrid's 3-1 Champions League triumph against Chelsea on Wednesday, is said to be worth roughly £67 million, with his current Real deal not expiring until 2027.
The possibility of not replacing Gini Wijnaldum, who left Anfield last summer, has been suggested as a reason why Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp might make a move for a new midfielder.

Foot Mercato is a French news service.
What?
According to the rumor, Paris Saint-Germain is targeting Nkunku this summer in order to beat Liverpool. PSG are reportedly hoping that re-signing the 24-year-old, who began his career in Paris, will improve their prospects of keeping Kylian Mbappe at the club.
Nkunku joined Leipzig for £13 million in the summer of 2019 after leaving PSG. He has also been linked with Arsenal.

Sport Witness, via Antena 1.
What?
Vieira's cousin, Mara Vieira, is quoted in the report as saying that the Porto midfielder could be enticed by a move to Liverpool after Luis Diaz made the same move.
"If Klopp has already mentioned Fabio's name, as he has done with others, it's because at Liverpool they are sensitive to the younger ones," Mara Vieira, the coach of Vilaverdense's women's squad, told Antena 1."From there, it's a waiting game, although he appears to be doing well at FC Porto, which is also a high-level club." Unless a significant opportunity presents itself, there is no real apprehension about change."
