Jurgen Klopp has revealed he convinces players to join Liverpool with the most simple of pitches: football.
The summer additions of Naby Keita, Xherdan Shaqiri, Fabinho and Alisson have many believing the Reds could challenge Manchester City for the title this season.
And Klopp has simplified the pitch he uses on potential recruits which, worryingly for rivals, could get even easier based on his side’s progression.
“We are really back among the top clubs in Europe. That’s a big achievement. Nobody is really interested but it is ,” Klopp told the Echo.
“We feel it when we sign players now. It’s not that we come and say: ‘By the way, Liverpool is not as bad as everyone says and the club is still existing, we’re still here.’
“We are on the screen now for all the players in the world. They watched us last season, they watched us the year before, they saw what we did.
“It’s much easier to convince, actually we don’t need to convince them.
“With Virgil (van Dijk) it was like this, with Naby it was like this. Before that it was the same with Sadio (Mane) and Mo (Salah).
“With our signings this summer we didn’t have to create some kind of story and say to them: ‘The Queen comes to Liverpool sometimes and if you sign for us you can meet her!’
“We only spoke about football – that was enough. That’s a good sign for us. Of course we now have to carry on in that way.”
