The club are hoping to be in a position where they can bring in new faces but it depends on a number of variables.
There is unlikely to be match-day revenue until 2021 due to matches taking place behind closed doors, something that usually plays a big part in the financing of the club's transfer budget.
One thing that does bode well for Liverpool though, is their relationship with Leipzig.
The deal to bring Naby Keita to the club was completed almost three years ago and was a very straightforward procedure.

Liverpool were willing to let Keita stay in Germany for an additional season.
That was something that satisfied Leipzig chiefs and allowed their player to leave on good terms.
Liverpool also recently dealt with RB Salzburg, their sister club when signing Takumi Minamino.
Again, the transfer was concluded swiftly and both parties were left pleased with the outcome of negotiations.
