Contract negotiations must now be the Reds' first focus. We know they want to give new terms to Naby Keita and Joe Gomez after tying down Mohamed Salah to a new deal, so in a perfect world, discussions move swiftly and without a problem, and hopefully the midfield pair sign new contracts soon.
Given that Roberto Firmino's contract expires the next campaign and that he had a difficult season due to injuries, he might need a solid offseason. Meanwhile, it should go without saying that Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho would both benefit greatly from any minutes following their transfers to Anfield, particularly with that first exhibition match against Manchester United quickly approaching.
Mohamed Salah did not have the best year in 2022, Liverpool are hoping he can quickly recover his previous form after agreeing to a new three-year deal with the Egyptian star. The resurgence of Salah has to be a priority for Klopp, as he will try to make the new squad click.
Finally, even though it may just be a glorified friendly the Community Shield is still a title and Liverpool will certainly want to win it against Manchester City. Although they've lost it twice in recent history, it is an early chance to upset Man City and begin the season with a trophy.
An additional midfield acquisition now that Mohamed Salah's position is clear does not seem like an unrealistic request, but all signs point to Klopp maintaining his composure to sign the players he wants for next season rather than this one. If so, it would be wise to take a close look at Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, and other alternatives to the current midfield situation. There will be matches where Liverpool needs idea and stamina, and it's possible that they already have both in their squad.
