Jurgen Klopp reiterated that it would be a quiet transfer window to Anfield this summer after watching Liverpool start his pre-season with a 6-0 win over Tranmere Rovers.
The goals of Nathaniel Clyne, Rhian Brewster (2), Curtis Jones, Divock Origi and Paul Glatzel gave the Reds a landslide victory at Prenton Park against their opponents in League One.
While a number of Liverpool's first-team players were not yet enrolled in preparatory training due to various international commitments, Klopp gave a chance to some of his young players to impress.
Brewster looked particularly strong when he opened the scoring for Clyne before scoring two goals, while Dutch defender Ki-Jana Hoever, 17, was another outstanding player in the second half.
After the match, Klopp suggested looking to promote from the inside to strengthen his team rather than entering the transfer market for reinforcements.
"Rhian Brewster, [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain did not play last year, all the young boys are new players for us, so everything is fine, "he said after the match.
"The transfer market is open, I do not know exactly when [August 8]. All of Europe had the wonderful idea of closing the transfer window earlier and the only country that did it was England! We close it three weeks before all the others.
"So yes, we'll see what we do, I do not think it will be the biggest transfer window of all time."
A player who looks set to join Liverpool is midfielder Harvey Elliott, 16, who witnessed their victory over the Tranmere from the stands.
The England Under-17 international has reached a personal deal with Liverpool, but will have to pay compensation to his current club, the Fulham, to get it signed, which will be decided by a court.
Dutch defender Sepp van den Berg was the only one to sign this summer this summer. Dutch defender Ppp Zwolle has signed a contract worth £ 4.4m.
Van den Berg has not played against Tranmere as his contract is still awaiting FIFA approval.
