Klopp explains difference between Liverpool and Man City in honest assessment of rivals' transfers
Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool and Manchester City had comparable transfer windows after last season's title race.
Liverpool finished a single point behind Manchester City in the Premier League table for the second time in four seasons, missing out on the title despite losing just two games.
The Reds responded by signing Darwin Nunez for a potential club record, with teenagers Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay also joining.
But they still feel like they need to do more, especially as champions Manchester City have approached their defense by bringing in Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez and Kalvin Phillips so far.
>Pep Guardiola's side are also in talks with Brighton over Marc Cucurella, while Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea have also been busy in the transfer market.
Tottenham have added six players to their first team, Chelsea are investing heavily under new owner Todd Boehly and Arsenal are the biggest spenders so far.
Klopp referenced Manchester City's ridiculous strength in being able to sell three players to the last two London clubs when discussing their business in an extensive interview with Sky Sports.
"I can't say that others have so far made a huge mistake in the transfer market," he said.
"It was clear before that Tottenham were heading in the right direction last season with their signings. Man City didn't just bring in players, they gave two to Arsenal and one to Chelsea.
“We are in a similar situation where you cannot always go with the same team. You need fresh blood and fresh legs. same way. In the end, they will all have fantastic football players like us. It's a question of who benefits the most.
"Everyone has the same chance. We will try to give our all. The main objective of this league is above all to qualify for the Champions League, which is difficult enough.
"When you reach that, and there's still time to compete for the title, you do. When you've qualified four or five years in a row, people might not like it anymore, but it will be a massive fight for the Champions League places.
"Everyone wants to win the Premier League but I have no idea who will be racing. We are looking to play the best season possible for us and we are really looking forward to it."
