Philippe Coutinho was sold to Barcelona in January for a fee of £142million and his departure was a big blow to Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s men, however, have been in fabulous form this term and are one of three teams that remain unbeaten in the Premier League.
The Reds are already in the throes of putting together their plans ahead of the January window.
On their wishlist, is Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele.
Recent reports suggested the Catalan giants are hopeful they can recoup as much as £100million for the 21-year-old.
And according to Spanish paper AS, Barca and Liverpool have reached an agreement that the La Liga giants can’t sign a player from the Anfield outfit for the next three years.
The news will no doubt make Klopp feel happy as he had to fend off interest for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane last summer.
Meanwhile, Klopp has been warned there is no rush to sign Dembele.
ESPN FC pundit Craig Burley said: “I don’t think there is a rush to sign him at the moment no.
“Neither is there a rush to sell him, yet.”
Dembele has now started to get a regular run in the Barcelona starting XI.
After starting the first seven La Liga games of the campaign, he hasn’t started in any of the last five.
And Luis Suarez has admitted he’s happy to help his team-mate yet.
“I have not lost patience with him, he has a special talent and we have to help him,” he said.
“Being a football player is a real privilege.
“He should basically concentrate on football.”
