Jurgen Klopp has seen his side slip from the loftiest of perches in 2022-23, with the Merseyside giants set to end the current campaign empty-handed after previously taking in Champions League, Premier League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup successes.

Reinforcements in the engine room will be a top priority, with Hamann speculating on who Liverpool could target – including a somewhat shock choice currently on the books at Newcastle – while also discussing potential budgets for Klopp and how costly failure to qualify for the Champions League could be.
