It is a sentiment that Slot himself pointed to earlier in the summer.

"The bar is really high for new signings because we have so many good players,"
Owen
"Liverpool are yet to make a signing,"
"But the hardest thing when you're a manager of someone like Liverpool or Manchester City or Arsenal is having to go and find someone better than you already have that is available and isn’t wanted by Real Madrid or other clubs.
"There are very, very few players that match that description.
“Liverpool haven't got any glaring gaps in their team. They've kept virtually everybody, the only worry I have for Liverpool is in the coming few years, their big players are getting on.
"Mohamed Salah, try replacing him. They're going to have to keep searching, but can't waste 50 million quid on someone that's only okay, that's not gonna replace his goals and contribution.
“They need to wait and wait and hopefully something crops up like Virgil van Dijk did, like they got with Alisson. They went and got the best available."

"At the moment, I can't see anyone out there that's better than they have already,"
“There are areas of the pitch that I think can be better.
“I'm not overly in love with the midfield, Alexis Mac Allister's very good, Dominik Szoboszlai is good, know, Wataru Endo is good, I think if there was somebody that was there and available I think they can improve one or two positions in the midfield.
"But that’s only if the right player is there, don't waste any money. Money doesn't grow on trees for Liverpool. It does for certain clubs. It doesn't grow on trees for Liverpool.
“There's going to be some big surgery needed at Liverpool in the coming two or three years, so don't waste your millions here and there just to appease people.
"Just wait, keep your powder dry and when the opportunity arises for the next Salah, for the next Van Dijk, then pounce with all you've got because these are the players that make the difference."
