With the game concluded and Liverpool set to travel to Japan for its next summer clash, focus returns to the transfer market for the next few days at least.

But with Joe Gomez suffering a pre-season injury and heading back to the UK early, it's a reminder that center-back remains a priority position for the Reds.

As for outgoings, Luis Diaz is closing in on a move to Bayern Munich after the Reds agreed to sell the Colombian for a fee of around $88 million.
