Liverpool are highly unlikely to add to their squad before the end of the transfer window, despite Jurgen Klopp's wishes to sign a new midfielder.
The Reds want a Champions League-standard player to go straight into their starting line-up, but no one who fits that profile is immediately available.
Frenkie de Jong, Moises Caicedo and Sander Berge have all been linked with moves to Anfield in recent days but Sportsmail understands that there is little truth in these rumours.
Jude Bellingham is Klopp's No 1 target, but Liverpool have accepted that they will have to do a deal for the England international next summer because he wants to stay at Borussia Dortmund for one more season.
