Liverpool 'waited too long' over Werner transfer says expert
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has held talks with the Reds board over the summer transfer window. Timo Werner was one player being targeted by the Premier League leaders but the RB Leipzig forward has opted to join Chelsea instead.
Klopp has been told he won’t need to sell any of his top stars this summer.
That means Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will all stay put at Anfield, according to the Sunday World.
Liverpool were said to have pulled out of any deal for Werner because of financial problems and they could have to do without any major additions this summer.
The Reds have been looking to freshen up their squad with the likes of Werner and Jadon Sancho linked.

“If we hadn't played the second half of the season, we would have thought, 'OK, when can you really play football again?' And now it starts right away.
“We act as if everything is already settled. It's not settled. We use this little loophole we've been left to play football again.
“Everything else we have to see the moment it happens. We can't pretend now that everything is going to be fine in the future.”
