MERSEYSIDE--Liverpool do not seem to regret the departure of Gini Wijnaldum last summer. Although the fans really want the club to bring in a new player to replace Wijnaldum.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp is not bothered by the absence of a replacement for Wijnaldum. The reason, Klopp still has a lot of stock midfielders. Ads Harvey Elliot, Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho, Naby Keita, James Milner, Curtis Jones and Jordan Henderson.

With abundant midfielder stocks, Klopp is not so active in looking for a replacement for Wijnaldum. That's because Klopp has carefully calculated whether it is necessary to find a replacement for Wijnaldum.

"We have players here with great skill," said Klopp last August, reported by Liverpoolecho, Wednesday (10/11).

He believes the existing stock of midfielders can contribute to the team. Harvey Elliot played well. And maybe if Wijnaldum hadn't left Elliot wouldn't have played.

According to Klopp, he played well. Even with Curtis Jones who is believed to be making a good step forward. Although Keita has yet to play a full game this season, Klopp believes he has had a very good game.

In addition, Klopp still has two experienced midfielders, namely Henderson and Alcantara. Fabinho still has the opportunity to contribute.

“So that's the situation. There's no need to just buy a midfielder because someone is on the market. I can't help the fans who want us to sign players just to get someone."

However, Klopp said if there were players that needed to be brought in, the club would bring them in. That refers to Saul Niguez who was often linked with Liverpool before the player joined Chelsea.

Saul was brought in on loan for £3.5 million and a permanent purchase option for £30 million. Liverpool only spent £36 million to sign Ibrahim Konate from RB Leipzig.

However, Liverpool's decision not to sign Saul was considered right. Because the player failed to captivate the day of Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel. He has played just 238 minutes in five games since arriving at Stamford Bridge.
